In an unearthed clip from 2013, Denzel Washington almost walked out of an interview. Why? Mark Wahlberg’s cheeky antics.
During an interview for Two Guns, Denzel Washington, 69, was caught off guard by Mark Wahlberg’s flirty behaviour. The pair, along with Norwegian journalist Kjersti Flaa, sat down to chat when Mark’s charming winks stole the show.
Kjersti asked Mark about a ‘winking thing’ his character did in the film, and Mark didn’t hold back. He winked at the journalist, causing bursts of giggles. Denzel, feeling like a third wheel, jokingly asked if they’d notice if he left the room.
Mark’s flirtatiousness seemed to annoy Denzel, leading to playful banter. Denzel laughed and pretended to leave, quipping about the situation. The interview, intended to discuss more serious topics, spiralled into a comical exchange.
Kjersti later explained on her YouTube channel that Denzel’s reaction was all in good humour. She admitted that the fun moment derailed her interview plans, stating, “The more we spoke, the more I tried to ask serious questions, and it just completely fell through.”
Despite the flirty flub, the interview concluded with laughter all around. Everyone played into the humorous vibe, turning a potential disaster into a memorable moment.
Denzel, known for often going viral with his genuine responses, was again in the limelight when, back in September, he charmed an eight-year-old reporter. The young fan asked how to be a ‘gangster’ like him, to which Denzel wisely advised against it.
The Oscar winner, always the role model, encouraged the young journalist to pursue his love for science and math instead. While his assumption was seen by some as a stereotype, most praised his sincere interaction with the child.
Denzel’s interview antics continue to entertain and endear him to fans. These moments highlight his candid, humorous side, revealing a different layer of the serious actor.
Denzel Washington’s interviews, even when off the rails, show his playful spirit. His reactions and interactions keep fans delighted and engaged.
