At 69, Denzel Washington has confirmed the heartbreaking rumors šŸ’” we will miss him 😭… Full Story:

Denzel Washington is unstoppable when it comes to this big decision.

The 69-year-old revealed he plans to retire from Hollywood after the slew of acting projects he has in the works.

ā€œI don’t know how many more films I’m going to make. Probably not that many,ā€ Washington said during an interview with Australia’s Today on Monday. ā€œI want to do things I haven’t done. I’ve played Othello at 22, I’m about to play Othello at 70. After that I’m playing Hannibal. After that I’ve been talking with Steve McQueen about a film. After that Ryan Coogler’s writing a part for me in the next ā€˜Black Panther.ā€™ā€

He added, ā€œAfter that I’m going to do the film ā€˜Othello.’ After that I’m going to do ā€˜King Lear.’ After that I’m going to retire.ā€

Washington got his start in the 1977 made-for-television film ā€œWilma,ā€ followed by the 1981 film ā€œCarbon Copy.ā€

Meanwhile, ā€œBlack Pantherā€ became one of the MCU’s signature franchises, with the 2018 film starring Chadwick Boseman, Lupita Nyong’o and Michael B. Jordan earning more than $1.3 billion at the box office.

Denzel Washington and Todd Black speak onstage during Netflix’s special presentation of ā€œThe Piano Lessonā€ during the Toronto International Film Festival at Princess of Wales Theatre on September 10, 2024 in Toronto, Ontario.

Boseman died at age 43 in 2020 from colon cancer.

The 2022 sequel, ā€œBlack Panther: Wakanda Forever,ā€ was a tribute to the late actor and continued the story of Wakanda and its people.

These days Washington is focused on promoting ā€œGladiator II,ā€ the sequel to Ridley Scott’s 2000 action movie.

Denzel Washington attends the ā€œGladiator IIā€ Paris Special Screening at Pathe Palace on November 10, 2024, in Paris, France.

ā€œGladiator IIā€ is set over two decades after the events of the original ā€œGladiatorā€ film, which starred Russell Crowe. In the sequel, Paul Mescal plays the grown-up Lucius Verus II, the son of Crowe’s character, Maximus, who ends up forced into slavery and becomes a gladiator to earn his freedom, much like his dad did in the first movie.

Washington portrays former slave and Lucius’ mentor, Macrinus. The actor teased his possible retirement in August.

ā€œThere are very few films left for me to make that I’m interested in,ā€ Washington told Empire magazine. ā€œI have to be inspired by the filmmaker, and I was tremendously inspired by Ridley.ā€

The pair previously worked together on the 2007 film, ā€œAmerican Gangster.ā€

ā€œWe had a great go-round the first go-round [on ā€˜American Gangster’], and here we are,ā€ continued Washington. ā€œHe’s engaged. He’s excited about life and his next film. He’s an inspiration.ā€

ā€œWe should all want to feel like that at 86,ā€ the star added.

But during an appearance last month on the UK’s ā€œGraham Norton Show,ā€ Mescal, 28, took a moment to gush over meeting the Oscar winner on set.

ā€œIt was a big day in my life — it was amazing. I spent the first day thinking, ā€˜I must go introduce myself to him,’ and I stood there for several minutes before I [decided], ā€˜Not today,ā€™ā€ the actor reminisced. ā€œThe next day I decided to be a brave boy.ā€
