Over the weekend, Denzel Washington made a meaningful and surprising decision to get baptized in church. The 69-year-old actor participated in a special ceremony at the Kelly Temple Church of God in Christ in Harlem, New York. The event, which was reportedly live-streamed on Facebook, was a momentous occasion for Denzel and those in attendance.
During the celebration, Denzel gave a heartfelt speech to the congregation and was fully immersed in water. He was also presented with a minister license, which means he can pursue ordination in the future. As he turns 70 in a week, Denzel expressed his gratitude and shared his belief that if God could do this for him, there's nothing He can't do for others.
Denzel's wife, Pauletta Washington, also expressed her pride in her husband's decision to get baptized. She reflected on their 46 years of marriage and how they have been able to set a positive example for their children. After the ceremony, Denzel posed for pictures proudly displaying his certificate of baptism and minister license.
Known for his iconic roles in films such as Malcolm X, Training Day, and American Gangster, Denzel has been a staple in Hollywood for decades. He recently starred in the highly acclaimed Gladiator II, and in a recent interview, he hinted that retirement may be on the horizon. However, he also expressed his admiration for filmmakers who continue to inspire him and fuel his passion for acting.
At 86 years old, Denzel's co-star in Gladiator II, Ridley Scott, serves as an inspiration to him and many others. Denzel praised the filmmaker and their collaboration, calling it one of the best experiences of his career. He also shared his hope that he and others can feel as engaged and excited about life at 86 as Ridley does.
