Denzel Washington is canceling cancel culture.
While promoting "Highest 2 Lowest" alongside Spike Lee, the Hollywood icon was asked if he cared about cancel culture in a recent Complex News interview with host Jillian Hardeman-Webb – and he had a surprising answer.
"Do you guys consider being 'canceled'?" the host asked before Washington replied, "What does that mean, being canceled?" She responded, "It means you lose public support."
"Who cares? What made public support so important to begin with?" Washington said. Hardeman-Webb responded that it was "because followers now are currency."
Washington wanted none of that, claiming, "I don't care who's following. You can't lead and follow at the same time, and you can't follow and lead at the same time."
