Thanksgiving turkey doesn’t appeal to Denzel Washington.
Katia Washington, Denzel’s daughter, claims that the actor avoids the turkey as much as possible.
“Mom [Pauletta Washington] has the whole situation on lock,” Katia continued, speaking to Us Weekly during the Los Angeles premiere of The Piano Lesson. We simply enjoy being there.
The family’s Thanksgiving custom of “watching movies, dissecting movies, telling jokes [and] telling set stories” was explained by her.
After getting married in 1983, Denzel and Pauletta had four kids: twins Malcolm and Olivia, ages 33 and Katia, and a 40-year-old son named John David.
This occurs as the family is working together on the Netflix film The Piano Lesson. The film is the director’s first and is based on August Wilson’s 1987 play of the same name.
