Denzel Washington Archives

Entertainmently Weekly sat down with two of Hollywood’s greatest, American Gangstar stars Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe.

Crowe, 43, spoke out on the early days of Leonardo DiCaprio, saying, “You know, I worked with Leonardo when he was 18 [on the Western The Quick and the Dead]. He was a virgin, and he would talk about that constantly. So I’m hoping we have some time so he can fill in what’s happened in between. Maybe show some photos. Because I’m sure life’s different now.”

Denzel, 52, talked about the Oscar buzz already surrounding his performance in Gangster: “What are you going to do? There’s no Oscar gym you go to to get in Oscar shape. There’s not much you can do about it. If you get invited to the show, you go. The work is done. You know what? It beats a sharp stick in the eye that people are talking about it. That’s gravy.”
