Denzel Washington didn’t let one bad moment steal his glory.
Following a heated exchange with a photographer on the red carpet during the premiere of his latest film Highest 2 Lowest at the Cannes Film Festival May 19, the Oscar winner’s rep confirmed that the moment didn’t ruin his night.
In fact, his rep told E! News in a statement May 20, “It was a great evening.”
Denzel, 70, was joined by director Spike Lee and costar A$AP Rocky as they walked the red carpet ahead of the film’s premiere. Denzel began a conversation with A$AP before he was seen walking in the direction of a photographer who was trying to get his attention. The photographer appeared to grab Denzel’s arm, prompting him to point directly in his face while saying, “Stop it, stop it.”
At one point, the Training Day star yanked his arm away from the photographer, who continued to smile, before walking back towards his cast members.
