Denzel Washington Clashes With Photographer on Red Carpet at Cannes

Denzel Washington made headlines at the Cannes Film Festival, not just for his latest film Highest 2 Lowest, but also for a tense exchange with a photographer on the red carpet.

During the premiere, a photographer tapped Washington on the arm to get his attention. The actor, visibly displeased, told him to "Stop it!" and pushed the man's hand away after a second attempt.

Despite the incident, the evening turned celebratory. Washington received a surprise honorary Palme d'Or from longtime collaborator Spike Lee, recognising his significant contributions to cinema.
