Oscar winner Denzel Washington is no longer that into watching movies.
In a new GQ interview alongside Highest 2 Lowest director, Spike Lee, and costar A$AP Rocky, Denzel admitted he no longer prefers spending his free time watching movies.
"Do you have any dolly shots of this guy that you admire?" A$AP asked Washington, referring to Lee’s celebrated career.
"I don't watch movies, man. I really don't," the Training Day star confessed, making Lee chuckle.
He added, "I'm just being honest with you. I don't watch movies, man. I don't go to the movies, I don't watch movies."
"Is it because you make them?" the rapper asked.
"Probably," added Denzel. "I'm tired of movies."
The apparently fed-up actor was then asked by the director how many films he’s appeared in, and he replied, "too many."
In another interview during the Highest 2 Lowest press cycle, Denzel said he doesn’t care about awards and doesn’t make movies to win awards.
"I don't do it for Oscars. I really don't care about that kind of stuff," Denzel Washington said on Jake's Takes. "I've been at this a long time. There's times I won and shouldn't have won... and didn't win and should've won. Man gives the award, God gives the reward."
