About this listen
Denzel Washington has been making headlines again as his Oscar-winning film Training Day surges in streaming popularity on Paramount Plus, recently climbing back into the top 10 despite its original release back in 2001. Collider highlights a renewed interest in the film—Washington’s portrayal of corrupt detective Alonzo Harris remains a fan favorite, and according to past interviews, it is still the character Denzel views as his most memorable role. The resurgence coincides with anticipation for his next film hitting theaters next month, making this a notable moment of career reflection and renewed mainstream attention.
In a splashy pop culture moment, Chance the Rapper shared a memorable story about a first encounter with Denzel on Jimmy Kimmel Live just a few days ago. Chance described being awestruck as Denzel challenged him to see “who’s more famous” in front of a crowd, further cementing Denzel’s legendary status in the public eye. The story’s viral traction on social channels has maintained Denzel’s presence among younger audiences, emphasizing his enduring cultural resonance.
There’s also an intriguing bit of noise circulating online, with a YouTube clip titled “Denzel Washington FORCED to LEAVE Colbert's Show After Fiery Live Clash” suggesting there was a heated moment on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. However, as of now there is no verified mainstream coverage confirming the exact circumstances or seriousness of the incident, making this an unconfirmed but widely speculated story.
Social media has been buzzing with mentions as well. On Instagram, ASAP Rocky reportedly told followers that Denzel enjoys listening to Money Bag Yo, Pooh Shiesty, and NLE Choppa, a playful aside that highlights the actor's ability to remain relevant and relatable for a broad demographic. Meanwhile, an arts educator account posted a quote on July 8 from Denzel about his roots, reiterating that he considers himself “a stage actor who does film,” which dovetails with continued critical discussion about his theatrical pedigree.
In the business and mentorship domain, Michael B. Jordan recently referenced in a New York Magazine cover story a piece of advice given to him by Denzel—a reminder of Washington’s legacy as a guiding figure for the next generation of Black actors, as detailed by Deadline. This mentorship continues to frame Washington as a towering role model in Hollywood.
Altogether, the past few days have shown Denzel Washington simultaneously celebrated as a pop icon, respected for his acting craft, central to viral anecdotes, and regarded as a standard-bearer for artistic integrity. For a figure whose career already spans decades, these developments further solidify his place not only in film history but also as an ever-present force in American culture.
