Denzel Washington subtly announces retirement during Australian interview

Denzel Washington, at 69, has just shared that he is planning to step away from Hollywood after completing a final series of projects, marking the culmination of an illustrious career spanning more than four decades. During a recent interview with Australia’s Today show, Washington hinted at his approaching retirement, stating, “I don’t know how many more films I’m going to make. Probably not that many.” His upcoming projects, however, promise to be memorable, including a return to the iconic role of Othello—a character he first portrayed at just 22 years old.

Washington’s decision to play Othello again at 70 is an exciting prospect for fans and represents a full-circle moment in his career. He’s also hinted at collaborations with directors Steve McQueen and Ryan Coogler, with the latter reportedly creating a role for him in the next Black Panther film. Additionally, Washington has expressed interest in tackling Shakespeare’s King Lear, which would add another profound role to his already impressive repertoire. After these anticipated projects, Washington teased, “After that, I’m going to retire.”

Washington’s remarkable journey began in 1977 with the television film Wilma, followed by his feature debut in Carbon Copy in 1981. Over the years, he has captivated audiences with his roles in classics like GloryTraining Day, and Malcolm X, earning two Academy Awards along the way. His legacy in Hollywood has been defined by a commitment to complex characters and collaborations with visionary directors.
