Denzel Washington Ditches Cannes Press Conference Following Photog Dust Up


This week actor Denzel Washington was spotted on the red carpet for the premier of his new movie, 'Highest 2 Lowest' at the Cannes Film Festival in a heated argument with a photographer [click here if you missed that].

The next day Denzel was conspicuously absent from the Highest 2 Lowest press conference....

From Page Six
Denzel Washington skipped Tuesday’s “Highest 2 Lowest” press conference at the Cannes Film Festival following his headline-making exchange with a handsy photographer the previous day.
The Golden Globe winner, 70, pointed his finger and yelled at the male individual tapping on his arm, who laughed off the tense moment.
“Let me tell you — stop, stop. Never put your hands on me again,” Washington said on Monday, lip reader Jeremy Freeman told the Daily Mail Tuesday. “I’m talking to you. Stop, alright.”
When the shutterbug grabbed the “Training Day” star’s arm, Washington attempted to shake him off while seemingly repeating, “Stop it.”
It is unclear whether the Oscar winner is still in France after the altercation.

He left the same day. He only had one day off from his broadway gig and he showed up for Spike and the surprise award. He came in and flew out the same day without suffering jet lag. That's how he rolls.

He had to get back to Broadway.

They didn’t want the Mt. Vernon smoke with big D. Glad he had to leave saves him from popping off after being disrespected.
