John David Washington on Dad Denzel, Morgan Freeman & BlacKkKlansman
• John David Washington ...
I’m glad I didn’t know this was Denzel Washington’s kid because I enjoyed all his talent in Black Klansmen without expectation... also he’s gorgeous...
I hope to see him at Tenet! Yeeeii
Same, only found out because of his wiki for Tenet
WAIT REALLY!!!
Denzel is my favourite actor
I figured it out b/c of his voice. Very similar to that of Denzel
Went to Morehouse with that dude. Solid guy.
G T Definitely strikes me as one.
My brotha, get that education and make them higher up friends.
or just get an education and don't change....or use your education to help others....fugg some friends.
G T and that's the problem, people don't want friends but whine about not having friends. There is nothing wrong with having friends.
Certified Destroyer I think you missed his point.
4:02 his voice tone when he said '' I did it with pride and dignity'' just like Denzel
OMG YESSS
I saw the clip and came to look for this comment!
Didn’t know he was his son. I’m happy to see his talent before knowing that fact
spot on
@@MEDEBERable you a real one✨
He looks nothing like his dad surprisingly, but he has Denzel's voice. He is his own man and legacy. Love it.
He looks like his mother.
Looks like his mom.
I think he does favor him a bit but Yes he definitely has his voice. Never seen his mom.
I can glean some semblance on the face shape, mostly on his profile and how his face is proportioned.
Both handsome perfect mix of both parents
Wow he sounds just like his dad
Julio Gomez yes!!
Yeah he does. That's crazy!
That’s what I was saying 🤣
He even has the smile
💯%
Humble and kind guy ...I like him. ..who else agrees? Kudos to Denzel and his wife.
Smitty Smith her name is Pauletta Washington. 🙄
@@JuaniqueVerde thank you 😊
Here after watching TENET. Went through the entire movie without knowing he was Denzels son 🤦🏾♀️.
Me too
Same
Same
Just watched it yesterday
Same 😩
He sound just like Denzel but look like Pauletta
Amazing combination
Love him in Ballers. Never made the association between he and his father. His acting certainly stands on its own. Of course now that I know, I can't miss the Denzel.
I absolutely agree.
good point!
BAM! You nailed it.
@3:52 even though his voice is a bit higher he talks just like Denzel right there lol
more so at 4.00
stop comparing him to his father. he is his own man..
he is definitly his own man but just as beautiful as his daddy
i've heard this link redirects to a bestiality porn website..CLICK AT YOUR OWN RISK..
I see his Mom in his features too.I think because we have seen Denzel more we tend to compare.
Man, John David really knows how to tell a story, he has great comedic timing too. Love his role on Ballers too, been one of my favorite shows for a while.
Prof. Weed third season is starting soon!!! It's such a good show :)
The 4th season actually. Season 3 was last year.
He was actually a pretty decent RB at Morehouse even though the team wasn't winning games. LOL
Damn. I was like “where have I seen him before “. You’re right. He was great in ballers
Prof. Weed kzhead.info/sun/arWPm7KjhZVvdK8/bejne.html
Same voice and mannerisms as his dad. Denzel was definitely in his life big time. That's what's really good
I was about to say the same.
4:00 - 4:05 His dad came through.
just like his father haha
Foreal... 🤣
I tell you what...besides being funny and charismatic...that is one FINE Black man!!!!
I am Lita Wi YES!
Ain’t he though 😍
amen amen
Speak the truth
🗣PREACH SISTA
You can hear the Denzel cadence in his voice.
Folarin Osibodu Very much so.
YES. His mannerisms/body language is a lot like his father, as well.
And now he plays the lead in a Nolan movie goddamn.
kvtsuodyly Ikr that was a quick rise!!!!!
Ramar Wint yep
This was like a real conversation instead of a fake interview. Respect
I really enjoyed this interview, mostly because it didn’t feel like it revolved around his dad. In some of his interviews, you can tell he tries to stay away from talking about his dad so much, and more so pushes his mom and her talents. Good job to Jimmy for making sure it was about John David and his movie!
len ci It seems to be the norm to give offsprings their due, so to speak. I just saw an interview with Colin Hanks where there was only one question about his dad at the end.
len ci kzhead.info/sun/arWPm7KjhZVvdK8/bejne.html
len ci Well said ❤️
len ci yes!! He literally never mentions his dad omg
Thank you! He was less anxious and nervous here, and all other interviews I’ve seen; than the one with BKfastClub
He looks just like his mom and sounds just like his dad. His skin is amazing ❤️🍫
Prof. Weed Merci beaucoup 🙂
French Vanilla I swear you white girls always trying to get at black dudes. stick to your own!
I Heart Yoga Pants no need for that here bruh
Kenneth Mcclain don’t blanket all Americans with that slander. Love is the only thing that’s color blind.
Boom! Mirror image of his Mom with Dad's voice
It is freaky how John David’s voice sounds exactly like his dad’s. I didn’t know voices were passed on in DNA. FREAKY!
Facts!🤣🤣😅😅
DNA /ˌdē ˌen ˈā/ noun BIOCHEMISTRY a self-replicating material that is present in nearly all living organisms as the main constituent of chromosomes. It is the carrier of genetic information.
He seems like such a cool person!! Can’t wait to see him in many more movies!
You can see him in another film in the next 2 months, mate.. It's called 'TENET'
He looks just like his mother, Pauletta and sounds JUST like his father.
We adopted him..
He does!!! EXACTLY!!!
Mia7189 , yes I said the same. He looks just like his mother
For being Denzel Washington's kid, he's very down to earth.
SupermanHopkins in fact, he hit that from Casting agents. He auditioned just like any other actor
SupermanHopkins Denzel seems like a good man. He probably taught his son how to be a good man too.
David James-Cameron And his Mother!
Denzel doesn’t come across like he has any airs and graces so I wouldn’t expect anything else. They seem like good people.
SupermanHopkins What does that even mean? Denzel is a very humble and talented man. I doubt he raised his children to be entitled brats!
This young man was raised well. Smart and funny
He is so handsome, loved him in Tenet.
Loved Glory as a kid. Denzel, Morgan and Matthew... John David is gonna have a great career. Best of luck bro 😁😁
Adam Pares There's a scene in Glory where Denzels' character lets everyone know he was not going to carry the flag. Wonder how Denzel feels about that scene in lieu of Black athletes kneeling for the white folks national anthem? I say play The Negro National Anthem and let the Black athletes stand for their own national anthem if you want to truly obtain equality.
❤
Thank you
Adam Pares vdp
Father and son both have movies in the theaters at the same time! Black excellence!!!
🖤🖤🖤🖤@diddy
His voice is like his dad. The whole cast acted brilliantly. It is such a great film.
Omg...he sounds just like his dad. He's very Handsome too😍
To a point not entirely
He is so true about HBCUs Football and Marching bands. Half time is always lit
Arean Thornton i miss being down in Jackson Mississippi at the battle of the bands 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Southern University aka the human jukebox. Baton Rouge, La all day. It’s always lit when Jackson State come down.
SU grad here!!!!
FAMU is THAT band no one compares lol but I love all HBCUs 💗
mahoganyc miles 🐍🐍🐍🐍
If you closed your eyes without seeing him, I'd swear it was his father speaking.
Rajab Croswell I said the exact same thing! Lol
Rajab Croswell I do. Closed my eyes and I think it's Denzel and open them and it's his son. It's crazy he sounds just like him
I know, right? It's crazy how much he sounds just like his Dad!!!
If you close your eyes and listened real closely you can hear a little bit of Denzel lol. Both father and son are extremely talented can't wait to see them both in a movie together
What? He literally sounds exactly like him. I was watching The Creator and literally thought they just took denzel and cgi'd him younger.
A little??
You don’t have to close your eyes or listen closely. He sounds so much like him I’m waiting on him to transform into his dad, lol. Same exact voice🤣
He sounds just like Chadwick Boseman, then I realized they both sound like Denzel
True man 😭
Denzel played a huge role in Chadwick's life so yeah.
Might become the new tchalla
Chadwick 😔💔
@@christophergongora7885 That would be interesting ☺️
Now I'm starting to hear Denzel in his voice but...I didn't know that he was his son til now😂😂
animegenius PROD. He has 3 I think...
Sylvia Gitau oof😂😂
Same here. When i saw the trailer - had no idea who he was!!
animegenius PROD. Me too!!!!!
Same when I started listening carefully after finding out he is Denzels son I heard it. He sounds and speaks just like his dad did during his younger days from some of his really early films.
I didn’t realize you could sound like your parent. Lol
After I went through puberty, I would answer the phone sometimes and people would think that I was my dad. I hear 45 year old my dad in my voice sometimes now.
@Derrick Barnett Same lol.
Yeah, he was really handsome with that afro in the film.
Adam Johnson really? Back in the day people would confuse me for my mother when answering the phone ALL the time lol. Including family LOL.
Damon Wayans son has Damon's voice as well.
Your father watching you humbly conduct your interview with his mannerisms and charismatic articulation can not possibly fail to admire you with a heart full of pride for his son. Good job Mr Washington
Love him in Ballers. Never made the association between he and his father. His acting certainly stands on its own. Of course now that I know, I can't miss the Denzel.
Man Denzel can never deny this is his son 😂
only by the voice...he looks like his mom way more than Denzel.
🤣 🤣 🤣
@@nonyabusiness4353 JWD favors his mother, But has his dad's mannerisms, charismatic appeal, ect....
I see a lot of his mom in his features
He is sooooooo adorable!! I don't think my eyes left the screen with his personality and storytelling being so awesome! xoxo
Vicky Simon haha that’s a way of ladies/ women saying he is okay not handsome but okay right Vicky Simon 😀
oh he's incredibly handsome too LOL
Vicky Simon haha 🤔🤔 I believe you 😊
He's mesmerizing! From his sense of humor all the way to his appearance. 👌🏾😍
4:00 if you close your eyes you can hear Denzel speaking
It’s kind of scary how similar they sound
Fr Fr it's weird!! 😭
When the chocolate man walked out wearing a chocolate suit.. God you are good and your mercies endures forever 🤤
nicky rosey lol
ADF MO2 this is all going down in slow motion for me🤣🤣
nicky rosey lol I know it is girl. I know it is. He is quite a specimen. I’m married so I need to tread lightly lol. But you enjoy!!!
nicky rosey You betta worship the Father in spirit and in TRUTH!!! 😂😉😂
nicky rosey 😂😂😂😂😂
Handsome, charming, humble, and funny - the whole package!
His voice is identical to his father's voice that's unbelievable Blackkklansman was an inspiring and motivating film, definitely film of the year last year.
Sounded just like his dad when he said “they paid me well to sit on that bench n did it with pride”. 🤣🤣
I would love to see him and Michael B Jordan do a film together!
I Heart Yoga Pants Directed by Barry Jenkins.
I couldn't agree more, that would be fantastic!!
Yes!
remake of Coming II America with those 2
NewEra Chaos HAHAHA! Who would be Arsenio Hall's character?
He say Yeah Yeah Yeah same way as Denzel
All I have is a word for this guy. TENET!
We live in a twilight world.
@@mclovin737 and there are no friends at dusk
I like this guy-good sense of humor and doesn’t take himself too seriously. All Success to him
He's so damn handsome and charming. Can't wait to watch BlacKkKlansman!!!
Sofia FP veryyyyyyyyy good movieeeeeee. 10.
Amazing film!!!!
Thank you Denzel & Pauletta for creating another Denzel😍 (eye candy all day). (Clears throat) Oh & umm I really enjoyed his interview. He's very articulate, handsome, intelligent & I see great potential in his acting career, & he's so handsome (did I say that already👀😂). #JohnDavidWashington #Chipofftheolblock😍
Black Butterfly okay 🙌🏾
I love how you were lusting in the middle of your speech...but you got it together! Good job!
Dee Hive lololol...I digress😂
@@Makaveli_96 .....girl I'm with you!!!
Just great parenting. Strong mother and good father figure.
The Acting Torch has been Passed to John David Washington by his Dad (Denzel) and Spike Lee. John David Washington and Spike Lee are Morehouse College Alumnus. Between Chadwick Boseman and Denzel's son. Historical Black Colleges and Universities have a Real Good Look in Hollywood right now. Hope it continues...
I would like to work with John David Washington.
@@Thespeedrap Mr. Marcel, who's to say that you won't work with David Washington someday. I wish you the best on that quest.
@@tms9995 Thanks man.😁
Marcel Zachary I hope so too my man's 🙌🏽
Chadwick Boseman went to the Mecca which is Howard University
So this video’s two years old, just got finished watching Tenet and I just now find out this is Denzel's son. Seen plenty reviews of his past and recent movies and im glad nobody brings that up cause he's so great on his own, i actually kind of regret finding out now because i cant unsee it lol
My name is John David...I feel your pain brother.
I wish you the best.
John David, you have a very nice name. I think Nancy Grace named her son John David!
Beautiful name!
John David Jones lol
Hello John David
“I was a professional Bench Sitter”.😂😂😂
🤣😅🚫🧢
And now he’s in a classic MALCOLM &MARIE🔥
It was an amazing storyyyy
Denzel made over, same voice and everything. 😍😍😍 This guy is gorgeous.
He sounds just like his dad...can’t wait until you receive your first Oscar and you dad present it to you!
He sounds just like his Dad. Almost the same exact voice.
He speaks highly of his mom just like his dad does..the importance of family 👪
His Father is one of the best actor's I've ever seen. Really have enjoyed John's work so far can't wait to see more.
He sound exactly like his Pops, never noticed it til now
Looks like Pauletta, sounds like Denzel
He looks just like his mother and sounds just like his papa.
You know what would be dope John Washington playing a young Alonso Harris in a Prequel of Training Day ? ..
I am glad that Benicio Del Toro loved the film. Blacks and Latinos have to support one another.
Christopher Aparicio Amen brother
I agree
Crowdfund77 can you just stop with the race thing for a second??
Kiah Sandy dude chill out i am trying to uplift all minorities and not just black and hispanic. i was being specific on this one.
Yeah all of us minorities should support one another
He’s really good in that show Ballers too.
He is so much like his dad. I actually saw him play against Tuskegee a while back. I was too distracted by his father to pay attention to the game! 😝 I was so excited to be in the same space as Denzel Washington!
What a humble sweetheart. Impressed.
He really does have Denzel’s eyes and voice. Great storyteller and fine too..lmfao.
Those magical genetic vocal cords oh my!!!
Thanks babe
ArayaDenise 87 😂😂😂😂
Ma dużo ze swojego sławnego Ojca. Podobną barwę głosu, podobny uśmiech, podobną ekspresję wypowiedzi i duży potencjał.
I've just watched the film and his performance was absolutely brilliant👍Denzel must be very proud of his son.
He even sound like his dad
His voice immediately brings his dad to mind.. it's eerie, really
Just watched Tenet and seen him for the first time on screen and thought he was great. This is the first interview and he sounds JUST like his dad. Great guy!
I just keep waiting for him to say “my man” sounds just like his dad . But definitely his own actor !
So endearing that his vocal talking style sounds so much like Denzel. I love when I spot parental similarities in youth. It warms my heart.
That laugh is crazy similar to Denzel tho!
Denzel Washington is one of my all time favorite actors, and I loved John David in Blackkklansman....
Where have I been, I didn't know that was Denzel's son!! I love him on Ballers!! WOW
I watched two seasons of Ballers before i realized.
hes so stunning tho
No matter how many interviews or episodes of Ballers I watch, I still trip out how much he sounds like Denzel. His dad must be proud, his son is so talented and humble!
He is a very very very friendly guy and positive thinking guy Iever seen, I always feel happy every times I meet and talk with him 🥰🥰
I love how denzel takes a seat for his son. Never on his red carpets or screening to give his son the full ability to shine...
Man I smiled from beginning to end,I love an entertainer who is not boring in real life,I'm also so happy to see John David in Cinema,I been waiting for this,bid up to him
Great interview!
Person ...you are GORGEOUS...Marry Me 😍😍😍❤
I love Denzel, now I know he gaves us an incredible legacy
Denzel always been one of my favorite actors, John David is definitely becoming one of my favorites too.
