“Best Two Lowest” Trailer: Denzel Washington Back Spikeley
New York City music magnate David King (Denzel Washington) faces a personal and professional dilemma in Spike Lee’s crime thriller, “Up to 2.”
Denzel Washington has cancelled the cancellation culture.
While promoting “highest two” alongside Spike Lee, the Hollywood icon was asked in a recent complicated news interview with host Gillian Hardeman Webb if he cares about cancel culture.
“Are you thinking about getting ‘cancelled’? “The host asked before Washington responded, “What does it mean to be cancelled?” She replied, “It means you lose public support.”
“Who cares? Why did you make public support so important at first?” Washington said. Hardeman-Webb replied that “because the followers are now currency.”
Washington didn’t want that, claiming, “I don’t care who’s following. You can’t lead and follow at the same time, and you can’t follow and lead at the same time.”
Cancellation culture is defined by Merriam Webster as “the practice or tendency to engage in mass cancellation as a way to express disapproval and exert social pressure.” It usually affects celebrities and public figures during widespread backlash against controversy.
After adding that he would just follow his faith, Washington later insisted, “If you haven’t signed up, you can’t cancel, don’t sign up.”
Another thing that Washington doesn’t care about? Academy Awards. The two-time Oscar winner, boasting a total of 10 nominations, was recognized by entertainment reporter Jake Hamilton in a recent “Jake’s Take” interview.

“I don’t do that for Oscars,” Washington said. “I really don’t care about that kind of thing. I’ve been with this for a long time. I shouldn’t have won and not have won.
“I’m not that interested in Oscars,” he continued. “You know, people ask me, well, where do you keep it? I say, I say next to the other. I’m not bragging.
Washington won his first Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his role in “Glory” in 1990 and took the lead role in his performance in 2002’s Best Actor, “Training Day.” His latest nod came in the Best Actor category in 2022 for his portrayal of the title character in “The Tragedy of Macbeth.”
