A photographer in Cannes spooked Hollywood star Denzel Washington as he unveiled his film at the festival’s annual opening alongside A$AP Rocky.
Hollywood icon Denzel Washington was furious at the actions of a photographer at Cannes Film Festival. The veteran star, 70, was attending the premiere of his movie Highest 2 Lowest at the annual event when he was disturbed by a snapper.
One of those taking photos, Denzel clearly instructing them to “stop,” and he was seen wagging his finger at him. He repeatedly made the request.
The incident, which was caught on camera, saw the actor walking the carpet at the event alongside co-star A$AP Rocky, 36. It appeared Denzel was less than impressed by a photographer tapping him on the arm, and let them know about it.
The photographer appeared to be smiling at the interaction before attempting to grab him once more, despite the obvious dissatisfaction with the actor. Denzel reacted furiously before leaving before walking away from the actions, adding more fume.
Denzel had a good time throughout the incident. Director Spike Lee gave him the honorary Palme d’Or award. Spike praised the actor by saying, “This is my brother, right here,” as he presented the award.
“This surprises me in every way”! Denzel reacted in shock.
Denzel received the award at the prestigious event after Denzel, who was the second recipient. On the night of the show’s opening night, Robert De Niro received one or two of the presents typically distributed annually.
Titanic star Leonardo DiCaprio, 50, presented his mentor and longtime friend Robert with the honorary award at the opening ceremony on Tuesday, and took those in attendance on a trip down memory lane while doing so. Describing De Niro as an “inspiration” DiCaprio said: “I was one of the many very lucky kids who had the incredible opportunity to audition for and ultimately work with him early in my career on This Boy’s Life.
There was a lot of competition during the audition process. At the age of 15, or 16, I was a nervous person who would get the part, and I screamed at him loudly. “The room became enthralled.
According to the legend, Bob was on his plane with his producer Art Linson when he asked, “Who do you want to play the part? ” ‘. And he responded, “second kid from the last,” in true De Niro fashion, luckily, I was the recipient. And that was the moment that forever altered my life.
While many celebrities grace the red carpet on a yearly basis at the Cannes Film Festival, it’s supposedly not always as glamorous for those in attendance. Mirror reporter Kenzi Devine opened up on her experience of things, and explained the strict rules that are in place.
When it comes to the famous red carpet in Cannes, Kenzi says, there are a number of rules to follow, including a ‘no pictures’ policy. The surprising order sadly rules out that perfect shot if you’re not chosen by the herd of professional photographers.
However, many people circumvent this rule by taking a sneaky selfie, but you’ll need to act quickly to avoid being caught by on-duty security.
