This is brotherly love!
Denzel Washington is currently on a press run celebrating the release of his new Gladiator 2 film, Complex reports. The legendary actor attended the premiere with his wife when he ran into rapper Snoop Dogg. Donned in a crisp white jacket with a collar, Washington stopped in his tracks to greet the West Coast legend.
“Go head! Go head!,” Washington exclaimed while holding Snoop’s hands and checking out his fit.
“You just, you just…I enjoy how you enjoy life,” said Washington.
Equally excited, Snoop beamed with pride as he and his wife stopped to take pictures with the Washingtons.
The two basked in the moment before answering questions on the red carpet about the film, Snoop joking that he was there so director Ridley Scott could put him in one of his upcoming movies. While Washington has long been a household favorite, Snoop has had a remarkable career trajectory. From gangster rapper to the new American Dad, Snoop’s career has had a resurgence in later years that are far from his early days.
The “Doggystyle” rapper has released everything from NFTs to ice cream and revived the once-defunct Death Row Records. Snoop also recently carried the 2024 Olympic torch, adding a fresh perspective to the games. Meanwhile, Washington is passing the torch, recently supporting his children, who starred in, directed, and produced the new Piano Lesson film based on August Wilson’s original work.
Check out the joyous moment between Washington and Snoop below.
