    DENZEL LOOK EXTRA OLD!!!!!!

  2. bassackwards

    can’t wait to see the movie, Denzel is one of my fav’s

  3. A Real Actor

    This is why Denzel will always get my support – he forgets about “himself” and becomes the character. That’s why he is great.

  4. H-Town Chic***

    I didn’t even read the movie title I just saw Denzel’s face. Get’em D!!!! I love him and all his movie’s there’s not another black actor that can touch him, not even Will Smith (he aight).

  5. ANN

    Denzel does look old because he is old! lol Bet the movie will be hot though!

  6. Denzel will forever be my favorite actor! This movie already looks good!

  7. dale23

  10. Taitianab

  11. Taitianab

    I PROMISE THIS IS MY LAST POST ON THIS SUBJECT ANYWAY…. THIS SOUNDS LIKE A WILL SMITH MOVIE… KINDA I AM LEGEND. I STILL LIKED IT ANYWAY SO I’LL BE THERE. “I LOVE YOU DENZIE” LMAO

  12. S.C.

    It’s going to be a good movie!

  13. JUDAH

    I notice many of these new “apocalyptic” movies have a black male actor in the lead role of saving the world, or some type of black character that is integral to the salvation of humanity. It seems obvious that there is a hope that through these movies, as this society crumbles, the other races are hoping to imbue in the minds of black people that they should chip in to keep the other races in a position of power.

  14. Blk N Beautiful

    Awww I can’t wait til it comes out. I love he some Denzel. He is one of my favorite actor’s!!!!! He always play in some good roles!!

  15. cee

    the movie looks good.

  16. la_verite

    Let’s just be grateful it doesn’t star Will Smith. I can never watch a Will Smith movie and not see “Will Smith” rather than the character he’s trying to portray.

    This will probably be a good one.

  17. looks like this movie may be interesting….

  18. hood_shit

    Presence…. met D once and all I can say is PRESENCE!

  19. jaesassy

    Oh yea.. A must see. I love Denzel !!!

  20. Juicy SuperStar

    Such a GREAT Actor….

  21. ALCEE

    I LOVE THIS MAN SO MUCH..AND ALTHOUGH HE’S “IN CHARACTER” HE STILL LOOKS GOOD..MMHHMM LOL

  22. nate

    Yeah, Denzel is going to show Will how to do it.. I can tell just by the first picture that Denzel is about to go in hard! love him..

  23. Wow!! I can’t wait to see this movie!

  24. YaChi

    Of course he looks old. He’s portraying Eli, someone who is protecting a secret regarding humanity. What do you expect someone like this to look like, Zack Efron?!?!?!?!?!

    Have you ever watched how past Presidents come into office with full hair and no gray to thinning and gray before the end of their first term? Check out Obama. Man has been in office less than 60 days and already gray. It’s a heavy burden, but I digress.

    Denzel is one hell of an actor. Like someone said you don’t see him. You see the character he is portraying. Still love Training Day……………..well deserved Oscar. You go boy :-0

  25. MR.Q

    its been a while since i seen DW in a movie.

    Good Look!

  26. Mekkah74

    It’s funny, cuz he is lookin a mess in that role, so it’ll be extra believable!

    All he has to do for is stand there like that in that first pic. :-D
    I love his walk too!

  27. S.C.

    @16

    You have to be joking. Smith’s roles in Ali and I AM LEGEND where “the bomb”, as far as portraying a character goes. Hancock and Maybe Men in Black, he could’ve did alittle better, but those movies are for younger audiences. Of Course right now, Denzel is the actor’s choice by far any actor, but I promise you, if and when D.W. retires, the only person that is going to be on the Fresh Prince’s level is Forrest Whittaker!

  28. S.C.

    …and slowly behind Whittaker, is Blair Underwood and Clifton “pinky fool” Powell. Those black actors are on the come up. Just one big role and that’s all she wrote!

  29. lemaracqt7

    sounds interesting

  30. Z'maji of HauteBlogXOXO

    Awwwwww man Concrete Loop peeplez! Now I gotta wait a whole year to see this. Why couldn’t you wait to post this in November *sad face*

  31. WESTNDNBEAUTY

    LOL @ #13…I was just thinking that. #25 you are crazy…..”who did you expect Zac Efron”…priceless! :D

  32. CaliGal

    I don’t care how tore up he looks in that picture. I’ll be there front and center come opening day!!

  33. CokeBaby

    Denzel is one beautiful man! hmmm yummy!!! He never looks bad to me

  34. FancyFace

    Damn, Denzel still fine as hell even as a old-bummy looking man. He can do no wrong in my eyes….I’d hit that.

  35. Congo City

    I love Denzel Washington..he’s such a great actor and makes you feel each character. It’s like he reinvents himself every single time. That is true art..these young actors really need to pick his brain and find out what’s he’s done to have such longevity in the business, before he retires. I was so happy when he finally won an Oscar Denzel Washington definitely deserved it. There’s not one movie of Denzel that i don’t like and he has such a great body of work, it’s really really impressive. I also like how he makes sure if he has a wife or gf in a movie she’s always a sista. It’s beautiful to see Black love on the big screen, i gotta respect him for portraying that in all his movies. Denzel is definitely the man the older he gets the better he gets.

  36. pms

    Dirty and sexy……yeah baby!

  37. Puritee

    Old and Fine….how does one do it

    Love ya Denzel!!!

  38. Rochelle

    Denzel, I am so in love with you. I wish I would have met you before Pauletta.She is a lucky woman. I tell everybody that Denzel sets the bar for what a black man should be. Nobody comes close to your level to me.I say all the time I have to make sure I tell my three year old who you are so he can know the best actor that ever graced a screen. I swear you could play a janitor and make him the star of a movie.I love you, you are my dream man. I hope to find a man that even compares.You are wonderful!Thank you Lord for sending us Denzel Washington!!!

    Denzel, as the good wines, improvement with the years. He has a kind of angel raises. Forrest Whitaker is moreover old and great actor also.
