Denzel Washington is reminding people where he places his trust. While promoting his latest film Highest 2 Lowest in an interview with Complex News, the legendary actor was asked about cancel culture.
“What does that mean, to be canceled?” Denzel asked. When told that it meant losing public support, he responded simply, “Who cares?”
He went on to explain his perspective on leadership and following trends. “I don’t care who’s following who,” he said. “You can’t lead and follow at the same time. I don’t follow anybody. I follow the heavenly spirit. I follow God, I don’t follow man. I have faith in God. I have hope in man, but look around, it ain’t working out so well.”
Denzel also noted, “You can’t be canceled if you haven’t signed up. Don’t sign up.”
The actor has long been respected for speaking openly about faith, discipline, and personal accountability. His latest comments serve as another example of how he separates himself from public trends and instead leans on his spiritual foundation.
