What do you find the most interesting about Denzel Washington?

Image
He  is kissing policy.   He  is kissing policy. Whenever anybody does a ranking of “unwanted kisses” or “actors who didn’t want to kiss their costars”, Denzel always makes the list. He earned that spot for his decision (back in the early 90s) to not kiss costar Julia Roberts, when they starred together in “The Pelican Brief”. Roberts had recommended Denzel for the role from the start and afterward said she would have been  more  than happy to kiss him. It was entirely his choice. And why didn’t Denzel want to kiss Julia? Not because she was ugly… because she was white. Now. Here’s where Denzel’s interesting policy comes into play. No, Denzel is not a flaming racist who hates white people and would rather not kiss them if he can help it. Far from it. Only a few years prior, he’d kissed Mimi Rogers in “The Mighty Quinn”. What concerned Denzel was not Roberts, but his audience. Specifically, his black female audience. After he had kissed Mimi Rogers in “The Mighty ...

WHO senior adviser Dr Bruce Aylward said the Covax programme had delivered 90 million doses to 131 countries. But he said this was nowhere near enough to protect populations from a virus still spreading worldwide. The shortages come as some nations in Africa see a third wave of infections. On Monday, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa called for an end to vaccine hoarding by wealthier countries as his government scrambled to curb a steep rise in cases. On a continental level, only 40 million doses have been administered so far in Africa - less than 2% of the population, Mr Ramaphosa said. To address this, he said his government was working with Covax to create a regional...
