DENZEL: “I AM A REGULAR GUY” BECAUSE OF MY KIDS

Malcolm, Pauletta, Denzel

Academy Award-winning actor Denzel Washington says that he is a “regular guy” with a “great job”. The legendary star will be starring in yet another blockbuster film titled The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3this summer, and though this would be a prestigious role for any actor, Denzel remains modest. Perhaps part of his modesty comes from having four kids who are all growing up before his eyes.

“I am who I am—a regular guy with a great job. How I’m analyzed belongs to someone else. In a few minutes, I’ve got a kid’s game to go to, and then I’m taking our daughter to auditions. Today, that’s my job.”

When asked recently by Readers Digest what lessons he has learned from his four kids Katia, 21, John David, 24, and twins Olivia and Malcolm,18, Denzel responded:  “Right now I’m learning that they’re adults. I’m a talker; now I’m learning to shut up. It’s an interesting transition for me—and even more so for my wife[Pauletta], who for 25 years put everything into them.”

    Denzel is a real role model, I like his style.
    He’s not changing partners like underwear like the other Hollywood stars are doing.
    Keep up man, you, your wife and kids, that is a great role model

    Denzel is one of the most respective and love person beside some of the other black stars that preceeded him. He is gracious. I am glad that he kept his kids out of the lime life. They all learned how to be regular kids.
