Denzel Washington tells it like it is. Though not a conservative by any stretch of the imagination, he lacks the arrogance, vapidity, and radi caI leftism peculiar to Hollywood personalities.Instead, he tends to speak the truth as he sees it in a reasonable, rational way that\u2019s quite unlike what\u2019s normally associated with Hollywood. Such was the case back in 2016 when actors were patting themseIves on the back and saying that making a movie was like going to a w ar zone yes, really.<\/p>\n
Well, Denzel demolished that lie during an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, saying People say \u2018the difficulty of making a movie.\u2019 Well, send your son to Iraq. That\u2019s difficult. It\u2019s just a movie, relax. I don\u2019t play that precious nonsense. Your son got shot in the face? That\u2019s difficult. Making a movie is a luxury. It\u2019s a gift. But don\u2019t get it twisted, it\u2019s just a movie.\u201d<\/p>\n
Denzel\u2019s comments might have been a response to Tom Cruise, who had been somewhat misleadingly quoted in 2013 as saying that filming a movie was brutaI like a tour of duty in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n
The Hollywood Reporter was involved in that story too, reporting: Don\u2019t underestimate the work that Cruise does. As far as he\u2019s concerned, acting is like competing in the Olympics, and sometimes like fighting in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n
I train, you know, I\u2019ve studied, you know, professional athletes, Olympians, in order to, you know, a sprinter for the Olympics, they only have to run two races a day,\u201d Cruise expIains.<\/p>\n
When I\u2019m shooting, I could potentially have to run 30, 40 races a day, day after day.<\/p>\n
Cruise is later asked about his lawyer\u2019s equating of his absence from Suri to that of a soldier\u2019s absence from his family while fighting in Afghanistan. While the actor says he didn\u2019t hear that comment, filming his last movie felt like being at w ar.<\/p>\n
I didn\u2019t hear the Afghanistan, but that\u2019s what it feels like, and certainly on this last movie, it was brutaI. It was brutal, Cruise says. TMZ had reported on the same quote about the filming being \u201cbrutal\u201d, though it somewhat unfairly characterized Cruise as having said that fiIming the movie was like war. It later had to amend the article to reflect the fact that that wasn\u2019t really the case, as Snopes reports, saying:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
