Denzel Washington just opened up about how he wishes he was closer to his faith when he was younger.
The 70-year-old iconic actor – who was baptized and obtained a minister license last year – has a long and successful career to his name and the only advice he would give his younger version is to grow closer to God.
In a conversation with Extra, Denzel, answering about what advice he would give his childhood self, stated, “Pray more. That’s it. Pray more. That’s what I would tell that younger Denzel Washington. Pray more. Get on your knees more.”
The Equalizer star, who is currently promoting his new film, Highest 2 Lowest, the movie is his fifth partnership with Spike Lee, which he has always found easy.
He said: “I don’t want to say, ‘Just like old times,’ but you know, you’re back in the saddle.”
“He leaves me alone. I don’t know what he’s doing. And he put together a great team of actors… Wendell [Pierce] and Jeffrey and Michael Potts and myself, and then the young buck A$AP [Rocky], and just let it rip,” the Oscar-winning actor explained.
It is also pertinent to mention that as per the New York Post column PageSix, Archbishop Christopher Bryant revealed Denzel Washington has said: “In one week I turn 70. It took a while but I’m here. If [God] can do this for me, there’s nothing He can’t do for you. The sky literally is the limit.”
