John David Washington and Denzel Washington

Denzel Washington is one of Hollywood’s most inspiring actors and the most highly paid black movie star in Hollywood. In the early stage of his acting career, he developed in TV dramas. After the 1980s, he transferred to the film industry. In the 1990s, he was accepted by Hollywood and entered the ranks of A-class actors. Just like his father, John David Washington also joined the entertainment world.

Initially, he wanted a career as a football player after he played college football at Morehouse College. He then signed with St Louis Rams as an undrafted free agent in 2006. This was his professional career as he spent four years playing running back for the United Football League’s Sacramento Mountain Lions. However, due to the pressure and stress he felt, John David decided to quit. Now, he is receiving credit for being a good actor, appearing in HBO’s Ballers and was the leading man in the film Tenet directed by Christopher Nolan.
