Denzel
Washington says he is too busy living life today than
have time to think about how he wants to be remembered
when he is gone.
Washington in
somewhat of a Hollywood anomaly. He definitely stands
out from other actors, and it isn't because of his
resume, which includes 37 movies in the past 29 years.
No, it is the way he chooses to live his life in the
fast-paced world of glamorous Hollywood.
He isn't a
fame-seeker; he realizes that he has talented, but he tries to
use that for the better by telling the audience about a certain
story or event.
He doesn't think in
terms of success, but fulfillment. Happily married for 25 years,
father to four children (ages 23, 20 and 16-year-old twins), and
a member of the Church of God in Christ, Washington is quickly
to point out he doesn't need any “dream” roles because he is
living one with his family.
Raised by his mother
and his minister father, this very down-to-earth actor credits
his faith and strong discipline as the reason behind his
success. He hopes to pass these virtues along to his children.
To an outsider, it might look as if Washington has everything
made, but he, like everyone, has his share of struggles, yet
refuse to let those times get him down.
Strong mentors also
played a significant role in Washington's life. As the
spokesperson for the National Boys and Girls Club, he enjoys
giving back. He also extends this in his Hollywood life through
directing, as he says he likes working with young people and
sharing with them his experiences.
When it comes to his
parenting style, he jokes that it is ever-evolving,
learn-as-you-go process. Almost the same can be said about a
successful marriage, yet, his advice also includes agreeing with
everything your wife says.
He wouldn't change a
thing in his life, well, except maybe his weight, but some might
disagree with that. While he is proud of his work and
recognition, it pales in comparison to his faith and his family. M
