Denzel Washington praises ASAP Rocky in a new interview.
Denzel Washington is currently on the promo run for his new movie “Highest 2 Lowest”, which also co-stars rapper ASAP Rocky. Denzel recently made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, where he showed praise for his musician co-star.
“You know what, I get it, Rihanna. He’s a very intelligent young man, he’s very nice, he’s handsome, he’s a good guy. I get it. He’s a good dude. He’s smart… a very bright man,” he said.
The actor then revealed his favourite rapper of all time: “Nas is one of my favourites ever, because I talk a lot, he’s a wordsmith.”

Spike Lee, who directed the film, praised ASAP Rocky for his acting in the movie. “Yeah, don’t sleep on ASAP,” he said on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. “In this film, Denzel and ASAP go toe-to-toe. What’s interesting is, even before I got involved with this film, I always thought that ASAP looked like he could be Denzel’s son. There’s a big resemblance. So when you see it on the screen, it adds an element of father and son.”
He added, “Don’t sleep on ASAP. I’ve done five films with Denzel, and a lot of times when he’s in a scene with somebody, they just get overwhelmed. He’s one of the greatest living actors today, but ASAP wasn’t having that. Toe-to-toe, I mean, they were going at it.”
