Fans are defending Denzel Washington after he was recently asked if he knew who actor Damson Idris was.
During a red carpet interview for the premiere of his recently directed film “A Journal for Jordan”, Washington was asked if he knew of the “Snowfall” actor and that he had previously auditioned for a role with him in his 2016 Oscar-winning picture “Fences.”
In response, Washington said a bit confused, “Who are you talking about? I don’t know who that is. What show? ‘Snowfall’? No disrespect, Damson, no disrespect.”

Since then, fans have been going back and forth on social media defending the legendary actor.
Damson also caught wind of the now-viral clip and reacted.
“Call me Dancin Address from now on. I won’t answer to anything else 😂,,” he tweeted, jokingly mocking Washington’s pronunciation of his name.

Denzel Washington has grown sons trying to make it in Hollywood. Why on earth would Denzel run around praising young men's acting talents who aren't his sons? That reporter and Damson Idris were and are being messy and disrespectful. I'm glad Denzel got y'all together.

I first heard of Damson Idris from girls saying he was fine on Twitter.. & that was just a few months ago. So it's not a surprise that Denzel Washington, who says he doesn't have social media at all, doesn't know of him.
