Denzel Washington Snaps at Red Carpet Pap: “Bro, Stop It!” and Honestly, Mood.

Buy Me A Coffee

Whew! Cannes more drama, please?

Legendary Oscar-winner and certified smooth operator Denzel Washington had a not-so-chill moment on the red carpet at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival — and it was giving major “Don’t touch me, I’m famous” energy.

So picture this: Denzel, looking all sharp and 70-years-fine, is strutting down the carpet for his new film “Highest 2 Lowest” (which sounds like either a drama or a rollercoaster ride—we’ll report back). Everything’s going smooth… until some over-eager photographer decides to boop Denzel’s arm like they’re besties from brunch.

Spoiler alert: they are not.

Mr. Washington whipped around with the speed of someone who’s been on way too many carpets to deal with this nonsense and gave the guy a verbal slap on the wrist. The photographer? Laughing. Like this was a cute lil’ meet-cute in a rom-com.

But Denzel was not about that giggly energy. He turned to walk away — classic dramatic exit vibesbut the photographer reached out AGAIN. Sir, do you want to be drop-kicked into the Mediterranean?

This time, Denzel hit him with the now-iconic triple threat:

“Stop it. Stop it. Stop it.”

Simple. Direct. Poetic. We felt that in our souls. That’s not just a warning — that’s a dad sentence. A dad sentence you hear before your WiFi privileges are revoked.

While Denzel’s rep didn’t spill any extra tea, they did say he had a “great night” at Cannes. And honestly, if this is how he handles nonsense at 70, we can’t wait to see how he handles villains in “Highest 2 Lowest.”

Moral of the story: Don’t poke the Denzel.
