70-year-old Oscar-winning actor Denzel Washington attended the premiere of his new film Highest 2 Lowest, directed by Spike Lee. On the red carpet, he was irritated by a photographer who grabbed his arm without permission. Denzel firmly warned the photographer to stop, pulling his arm away after the photographer tried to grab him again.
Despite the tense moment, Denzel quickly regained his composure and was soon honored with the prestigious Palme d’Or Lifetime Achievement Award. Receiving the award from Spike Lee, Denzel expressed heartfelt gratitude and called the honor a complete surprise.
