Actor Denzel Washington has expressed his disdain for cancel culture, saying “who cares” when asked if he worries about being canceled. Discussing his latest film with Complex News, Washington posed the question, “what does it mean to be canceled?” and replied that he doesn’t care about public opinion. He stated that one can’t lead or follow at the same time, and instead follows his faith in God. This stance is not new for Washington, who has previously expressed that he doesn’t do things for awards or recognition. The actor’s words are seen as a refreshing take on cancel culture, with some commenting that it’s a smart move to stay grounded and focused on one’s values rather than seeking public validation.
