Denzel Washington Has 2 Blunt Words For Photographer In Heated Red Carpet Moment

Denzel Washington confronts a photographer at the premiere of his film Highest 2 Lowest in CannesDenzel Washington was seen snapping at a photographer on Monday during a tense, exchange on the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival.While at the world premiere of Highest 2 Lowest, his upcoming film with Spike Lee, Denzel was talking with the director and his co-star A$AP Rocky, when someone grabbed his arm among a sea of photographers behind a barricade, according to video shared by The New York Post.It’s unclear exactly who among the photographers initially grabbed the two-time Oscar winner – which was seemingly done to get his attention – but the move ticked off the actor, who shouted down one man while putting his finger in his face.The photographer, in response, was seen laughing off the matter as Denzel continued to scold him, bringing the man’s arm down at one point.After Denzel turned away, the photographer grabbed the actor, who quickly reacted by swatting back the man’s arm.“Stop it!” he appeared to repeatedly tell the man before walking away.You can watch the clip of the exchange here.CANNES, FRANCE - MAY 19: Denzel Washington attends the "Highest 2 Lowest" red carpet at the 78th annual Cannes Film Festival at Palais des Festivals on May 19, 2025 in Cannes, France.

(Photo by Pascal Le Segretain/Getty Images)The tense exchange comes just months after Denzel, while arriving at a New York City benefit event honoring fellow actor Samuel L. Jackson in October, confronted autograph seekers who called on him to “show some love”.“I got nothing but love, but respect me,” said Denzel, per a TMZ clip of the exchange last year.“Alright, I said I’ll see you when I get out. Which part of that don’t y’all understand?”On Monday, a representative for Denzel told People magazine that despite the heated red carpet moment, it was a “great evening” for the actor.He received an Honorary Palme d’Or, the festival’s highest honour, while his upcoming film with Spike Lee – a reinterpretation of legendary Japanese filmmaker Akira Kurosawa’s 1963 movie High And Low – reportedly got a six-minute ovation from the Cannes crowd.MORE FILM NEWS:Robert De Niro Kicks Off Cannes Film Festival With Blistering Speech About 'Philistine' TrumpHalle Berry Forced To Change Her Outfit Because Of This Last-Minute Change To Cannes Dress CodeHarry Potter Star Harry Melling And Alexander Skarsgård's 'Kinky' Biker Romance Causes A Huge Stir In Cannes
