Here's What Denzel (Likely) Told Handsy Photog During Heated Exchange, According To Lip Reader
Washington's body language indicates he wasn't pleased with his personal space being violated, with lip reader Jackie 'G' Gonzalez giving some insight into what was likely said via her social media pages.
'Hey, you're the one that grabbed me, right? Let me tell you something, let me tell you something, stop! You ever put your hands on me again, and that'll be [camera loses focus]. I'm warning you, you heard me, right? Ok.' Denzel then turns to walk away and is grabbed a second time.
'Stop. Stop. Stop. You got me? Stop.'
While Washington's red carpet experience was less than stellar, he was soon awarded with a surprise Honorary Palme d'Or, the festival's highest accolade, during the Highest 2 Lowest premiere Monday (May 19) night.
'This is a total surprise for me, so I'm a little emotional, but from the bottom of my heart, I thank you all,' said Washington during his speech. 'To be here once again in Cannes — we're a very privileged group in this room that we get to make movies and wear tuxedos and nice clothes and dress up and get paid for it as well.' He was also sure to recognize director Spike Lee as his 'brother from another mother.'
Highest 2 Lowest, co-starring Jeffrey Wright, Ilfenesh Hadera, A$AP Rocky, Ice Spice, and more, will be released in select theaters on Aug. 22. It will then stream exclusively on Apple TV+ beginning Sept. 5. Check out the teaser below.

Austin Butler Battles A Bee To Protect Zoë Kravitz
Austin Butler is making waves, again. It's not because everyone's thirsting over those new Men's Health photos. And it's not because he got too stoned from an edible and awkwardly danced on stage with Bad Bunny. Austin's literally making waves because he protected his Caught Stealing co-star Zoë Kravitz from a potential bee sting. On Tuesday, at the UK premiere of the new Darren Aronofsky crime thriller, Austin and Zoë walked the carpet in complementary Saint Laurent outfits, and they looked very sweet — perhaps, too sweet. When a rogue bee tried to pollinate the actors as they posed for photos, Zoë and Austin attempted to wave the insect away from her face before it set its sights on the Dune 2 actor. Austin, Zoë, and Darren were visibly amused by the bee, who I'm convinced is Barry B. Benson from 2007's Bee Movie trying to make a comeback. The best part about this insect interaction is that it's not Austin's first rodeo with a bumblebee on a red carpet. In May, while posing for pictures during the Cannes Film Festival premiere of Eddington, Austin tried to save Emma Stone from a bee. When the bee buzzed into their space, Pedro Pascal laughed, Emma dodged, and Austin unsuccessfully tried to blow the bee away. Fortunately, Austin has improved his technique since the last time. Austin revealed what went down during a Tuesday, Aug. 12 appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. "Some things just happen, and you don't really realize what's happening in the moment," Austin explained. "[Emma] said, 'Bee, bee, bee!' And then I look, and there's actually a bumblebee that's attacking..." he told Jimmy. "And then Pedro starts laughing, and then I started blowing the bee away. That was my reaction." Austin admitted that he "didn't want to hurt the bee," and that's why the video might appear a little suspect. "It kind of looks like I'm blowing the bee at her. You know? So I was doing my best to try to get the bee to just playfully get away." In Caught Stealing, Austin plays Hank, a former baseball star turned bartender who gets involved in the world of 1990s New York City crime. Zoë plays Yvonne, Hank's love interest. Caught Stealing will be in theaters on Aug. 29. Do you love all things TV and movies?
