Denzel Washington seen on a video with a tense exchange with intrusive photographers on Cannes Red Carpet

Denzel Washington was discovered in a heated exchange at the world premiere of Highest 2 lowest On Monday, May 19th, at the 2025 Film Festival in Cannes.

The 70 -year -old Oscar winner spoke to the film's director, Spike Lee, as a photographer snapped on the red carpet of Washington's arm to attract his attention. Washington Costar, a $ Ap Rocky, approached him when Washington also registered that the photographer grabbed him.

Washington then turned to the smiling photographer and pointed to him with his finger when he gave him a strict warning. The photographer apparently nodded, but when Washington addressed himself, he grabbed the actor again. Washington quickly tore his arm out of the photographer's grip and repeated himself again and said repeatedly: “Stop.”

Despite this heated exchange, Washington's representative tells the people: “It was a great evening.”

Shortly after the interaction and shortly before the film was premiered in the theater, Washington received a surprising palm of honor d'Or, the highest honor of the festival.

The 68-year-old Lee helped with the award at the presentation of the two-time Academy Award Award Actors when the couple presented their new film from the competition.

“This is a total surprise for me, so I'm a little emotional, but with all my heart, thank you all. It was a great opportunity to work with my brother again – brother from another mother, spike,” said Washington during his speech.

“In order to be here again in Cannes, we are a very privileged group in this room in which we make films and wear tuxedo and beautiful clothes and are also paid for it,” added Washington to laugh in the room. “You know, we are only blessed, I am blessed beyond measure and I thank you all from my heart. Thank you.”
