That Time Denzel Washington Brutally Roasted Ryan Reynolds In An Interview (And Tom Hardy Nearly Spit His Drink Everywhere)

Throughout his career, Ryan Reynolds has collaborated with many esteemed actors, but he often speaks highly of Denzel Washington. The two shared the screen in the action thriller “Safe House.” Although this movie wasn’t one of their most successful productions financially, it left a lasting impression on both actors – apparently for quite different reasons.

Reynolds has spoken about how in awe he was working alongside Washington, but Washington himself jokes that he just thought Reynolds was a terrible actor. A clip of Denzel Washington appearing on The Jonathan Ross Show back in 2012 recently went viral, and it shows Denzel dropping a zinger so good that guest Tom Hardy nearly gave a Looney Tunes-worthy spit take. Check it out.

It appears Denzel Washington may have playfully teased Ryan Reynolds during an interaction, which could be due to their on-set altercation while filming “Safe House“. At the time, it didn’t seem like Washington harbored any ill feelings, but if you give someone a black eye, you should expect some friendly banter in return.

I must admit, that particular joke had me in stitches! Even seasoned actors like Tom Hardy and Keira Knightley seemed taken aback by the audience’s reaction. It was a moment when everyone, including them, momentarily forgot about their drinks.

Lately, Reynolds has shared that he’s gained a lot from collaborating with Denzel Washington, not just admiring him as an actor, but also receiving valuable producer insights from him which he continues to reflect on.

Looking at how significantly Ryan Reynolds has grown in fame since this interview with Washington in 2012, it’s plausible that the latter may have underestimated the impact he would have on the up-and-coming actor. This was prior to the rise of Deadpool, a phenomenon that turned Ryan Reynolds from a typical actor into a true cinematic powerhouse.

To put it simply, it’s high time for Ryan Reynolds and Denzel Washington to share the screen again. It has been over a decade since their last film, “Safe House,” was released. Reminiscing about it now makes me wish I could stream it on Peacock right away. However, what we truly need is a brand new movie featuring these two talented actors. Given Reynolds’ current popularity, the film would likely be a massive box office success.

Absolutely, since Denzel Washington has announced he’s joining Black Panther 3, it’s possible, though unlikely, that Washington and Reynolds might interact within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Fingers crossed if such a scenario ever unfolds, Reynolds will deliver a stellar performance, immersed in the acting of his co-stars.
