Watch Two Phenomenal Impression Takes of Denzel at the Oscars

Denzel Washington has come out powerfully as an ally following Will Smith’s smacking Chris Rock on stage at the Oscars last Sunday.

New York Post:

Denzel Washington has shared his thoughts on Will Smith slapping Chris Rock during Sunday night’s Oscars after he was seen consoling the Academy Award-winner following the incident.
“Well, there’s a saying, ‘When the devil ignores you, then you know you’re doing something wrong,’” Washington began Saturday morning during a discussion about his career and faith with author and bishop T.D. Jakes during his leadership summit, Variety reports.
“The devil goes, ‘Oh no, leave him alone, he’s my favorite,’” he continued. “Conversely, when the devil comes at you, maybe it’s because he’s trying to do something, right? And for whatever reason, the devil got ahold of that circumstance that night.”
Washington, Tyler Perry, Bradley Cooper and others were seen speaking to Smith during the commercial break that followed the actor smacking Rock across the face for a G.I. Jane joke aimed at wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.
During Will’s acceptance speech for Best Actor, Smith thanked Washington for sharing these wise words: “At your highest moment, be careful, that’s when the devil comes for you.”
No one witnessed Washington’s moments with Smith but the following two performers on TikTok, Christian King and Samuel Blair are definitely channeling the magic of Denzel in the following hysterical impressions.
Enjoy.
