Denzel Gives Out Some Washingtons!

Denzel was passing out free etiquette lessons last night -- hopefully, other Hollywood stars will sit up and pay attention!


The handsome megastar hit up Mr. Chow -- and not only did he give a homeless man $100, he also stopped to sign autographs for all the fans who crowded him. Not once did Denzel lose his cool despite hundreds of flashes going off in his face.


When you've got swagger like this, drama isn't necessary!

31. Okay, Do I think its nice of denzel? Yes.....but, all he did is help this bums drug/alcohol habit....Go buy him food or a coat/blanket/hotel for the night/shoes etc, handing out money doesnt always help someone like this out. But don't call me a racist or anything, I think Denzel is a stand up nice guy!

32. Class act, my ass. Denzel is just another dumb guilty liberal thinking he's helping someone (besides himself to some free publicity) by handing some loser on the ground a hundred bucks. Way to go, supporting a drug habit. Does he - or any of you liberals on this board - ACTUALLY believe this guy is gonna go get a meal or start a new life with that hundred? No. He's gonna go get high and come back and beg. Hell, if you want to help someone on the street, hand him an opportunity, not a handout. That's not what America is based on. My grandparents came here from Italy in the Depression, got ripped off of all their money, but they didn't give up or start taking drugs. They worked hard and owned 2 restaurants to show for it. Why don't you dumb liberals understand things like that? That everyone has to help themselves, not rely on dumb celebrities who feel guilty for being rich.

34. #32 southphillyitaliana: You are SICK. Can't believe you have the nerve to criticize someone who was doing good, even if it not to your liking. It was the thought that counts. No matter what good someone does, there will be fools out there that will find a way to criticize. Unbelievable!!!!

Oh, and by the way, your comment was DUMB.

35. If you dine at Mr. Chow, Koi, The Ivy, etc. it means you WANT to be seen

Paparazzi hangs out at these joints.

There are PLENTY of other restaurants in L.A. [with better food] where a celebrity can dine unnoticed. Those who act upset by the attention are full of bs.

Therefore, Denzel is no hero for not getting upset about giving autographs. How ridiculous.

36. Denzel is one cool, classy person. Not to mention one of the greatest actors of all times. Everyone see how he handled the guy who need help, the paps and the fans. This is how you do it people. Denzel or not, if we all lived this way the world would be a better place!!! D, you are THE MAN!!!

42. #35: You totally MISSED THE POINT. I'm sure Denzel knows he would be seen at these places, but you never know the reason why he was there. He could of had a dinner appointment meeting, or invited to something. Who knows and who are we to judge? And if he just went there to have a good time, well good for him!

The point of all this was that Denzel handled himself in a classy way, unlike some other celebrities who go to these SAME SPOTS.

43. reply to comments 31 and 32....You shouldn't judge a book by it's cover...If denzel thought it would help out the guy then let him do that....i believe a kind gesture is a kind gesture lt the man do that....we don't know how we really help out people in the end...

44. I always love you Denzel! Plus, we'd make beautiful babies (hehheh).
