Generate Key Takeaways In a revelation that surprised even the most diehard Hip-Hop fans, A$AP Rocky has shared that legendary actor Denzel Washington has a deep appreciation for contemporary Memphis rap — and not just in passing. According to the Harlem rapper, the Oscar-winning actor regularly bumps artists like Pooh Shiesty, Moneybagg Yo, and NLE Choppa on set. Speaking on The Run-Through with Vogue podcast, Rocky opened up about his experience working alongside Washington on their upcoming film Highest 2 Lowest, a reinterpretation of Akira Kurosawa's 1963 crime thriller High and Low. A$AP Rocky attends The 2023 Met Gala Celebrating 'Karl Lagerfeld: A Line Of Beauty' at The Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 01, 2023 in New York City. While the collaboration itself was a dream come true for Rocky, what really caught him off guard was Washington's music taste. 'Denzel would pull up to the movie set playing Pooh Shiesty and Moneybagg Yo, swear to God,' Rocky said during the interview. 'Can't make this up.' He continued, 'He likes to listen to Memphis rappers, but modern Memphis rappers.' Rocky went on to describe a surreal moment when Washington began quoting lyrics from NLE Choppa. Denzel Washington attends 'The Equalizer 3' photocall on October 19, 2022 in Atrani, Amalfi, Italy. 'Then he started quoting NLE Choppa. I'm like, 'You know NLE Choppa?!' He like, 'I don't do drive-bys now, walk 'em down.' I'm like, 'Yo, Denzel, chill!' It was crazy, he's really tapped in, man.' Directed by Spike Lee, Highest 2 Lowest is set to premiere later this month at the Cannes Film Festival, with a theatrical release date of Aug 22. The film will also be available for streaming on Apple TV+ starting Sept 5. A$AP Rocky attends Rihanna's 5th Annual Diamond Ball at Cipriani Wall Street on September 12, 2019 in New York City. The project marks a unique moment in both Washington and Rocky's careers — one bridging the worlds of classic cinema and contemporary street culture. Though Denzel's Hip-Hop bonafides aren't worn on his chest, Rocky, who's known for his own syrupy sound, seems to have found an unexpected kindred spirit in the 70-year-old actor.

A$AP Rocky Reveals He's 'Stole' Pieces of Rihanna's Wardrobe That She Doesn't Even Know About
A$AP Rocky has no issues when it comes to raiding Rihanna's closet (and the feeling is mutual). The musician and 2025 Met Gala co-chair, 36, revealed during his appearance on The Run-Through with Vogue podcast that he's no stranger to swiping some articles of clothing from his partner's wardrobe, even some pieces she may not have noticed were missing. "Man, pardon my language, I do what the f--- I want... I want to represent, I want to be a catalyst for daring men. I don't know who drew the line between femininity or just being feminine and masculinity, excuse me," Rocky said when asked about his approach to fashion on the Thursday, May 1 episode. "I don't know who drew that line but I don't see any barriers for me." "It's not fair that, like, my girl can just go in my closet and can just take anything from it and wear it," he added. "That goes both ways. She has pieces she don't know that I actually stole, you get what I'm saying?"

The "Fashion Killa" rapper then joked that "she does it to me all the time" — referring to him and Rihanna, 37, borrowing each other's clothing. "Sometimes you can see her on an interview or see a paparazzi photo like, 'Wait. There goes my Miu Miu f------ jacket! Like, what the f---? I was looking for that since 2021.' You get what I'm saying? And its just like, 'Okay.' I gotchu, bet." Related: A$AP Rocky Raves Over Sons RZA and Riot as He Shares They Are the Source of His Creativity: 'It's Beautiful' As Rocky explained, "there's no barriers" for him when it comes to fashion and the way he presents himself. "For me, I think like kilts, babushkas, all of that stuff, that's what the Moors wore. If you know anything about the Moors, with the pearls and stuff like that. That's literally what the Moors had on. For me, kilts, pearls, shirts on the head, these are all things that were meant to be like, emasculated and meant to look feminine. And they all started out with African men wearing them. Another fact." Rocky's latest chat with Vogue arrives days before he completes his role as one of this year's co-chairs at the Met Gala on Monday, May 5, where the theme is "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style." The theme pulls inspiration from Monica L. Miller's book Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity. His fellow co-chairs include Colman Domingo, F1 driver Lewis Hamilton, Pharrell Williams and Anna Wintour alongside honorary chair LeBron James. Rocky — who shares sons RZA, 2, and Riot, 1, with Rihanna — caught up with PEOPLE at the Footwear News Achievement Awards in December 2024, when he defined his "dad style" as "way more focused." 'Prior to that, it was more absurd outfits and just mixing and matching everything just for the sake of it. Now it's a bit more quiet luxury,' he said of his style evolution.

‘The White Lotus' star Aimee Lou Wood revealed she's 'very anti-Botox.' She's not alone.
'The White Lotus' star Aimee Lou Wood revealed she's 'very anti-Botox.' She's not alone. Show Caption Hide Caption 'White Lotus' star dishes on Piper's virginity and deleted sex scenes 'The White Lotus' star Sarah Catherine Hook tells USA TODAY's Ralphie Aversa why Piper's sex scene was cut from the season finale. "The White Lotus" star Aimee Lou Wood is "very anti-Botox" − and she's not alone. The breakout star from Season 3 of the hit HBO series opened up on The Run-Through with Vogue podcast earlier this month about her reasons for not wanting Botox for herself. "I'm, like, very anti-Botox," Wood said. "People can do whatever the hell they want, but for myself because, you know, a lot of my career relies on these facial expressions... so I can't start freezing my face. It needs to move." She added that she does sometimes think her face "moves too much": "Sometimes I watch things back and I go, 'Jesus, I wasn't aware that I was using my face that much in that moment.'" Wood, 31, is not the only person in Hollywood to speak out against Botox and other cosmetic treatments lately. Justine Bateman, for instance, has also said she doesn't want Botox, saying she doesn't mind seeing herself get older. In August 2020, Kelly Ripa poked fun at her gray roots, and, in March 2021, Katie Couric went makeup-free for a People magazine spread, saying the experience made her feel "liberated and vulnerable." Pamela Anderson has also hit multiple red carpets lately make-up free. Cassandra Bankson, a medical esthetician and YouTube skincare personality, previously told USA TODAY that "being able to age is a privilege" and "we should embrace how our skin takes care of us and the stories it tells." Here's how you can follow the example set by these celebrities and embrace your own natural beauty. Aimee Lou Wood's looks keep getting talked about. She's standing up for herself Wood's looks have received plenty of commentary following the release of the latest season of "The White Lotus." The actress wrote on her Instagram Stories recently that she did not appreciate a "Saturday Night Live" sketch about the show over the weekend, in which "SNL" cast member Sarah Sherman wore fake teeth while playing Wood's "White Lotus" character, Chelsea. "I did find the 'SNL' thing mean and unfunny," Wood wrote on her Instagram Stories, adding that she "felt righteous" but "might delete" her post later. Wood also described the sketch as "such a shame" and said that, while she's fine with "SNL" making fun of her, there "must be a cleverer, more nuanced, less cheap way" to do so. More: Pamela Anderson's bold no-makeup look and the 'natural beauty revolution' On social media, Wood's fans have shared about how much they appreciate seeing the actress stand up for herself. One follower wrote: "I have a big gap in my teeth and an overbite and you've genuinely made me feel so much better about myself." Wood joins a slew of other celebrity women who've pushed back against societal beauty standards. Anderson, for instance, has opened up about her decision to ditch make-up on red carpets, telling Vogue France she hopes to model the multitude of ways women can express themselves. "I'm not trying to be the prettiest girl in the room," Anderson said. "I feel like it's just freedom. It's a relief." More: Justine Bateman is embracing getting older: How to feel beautiful and accept aging In an interview with "60 Minutes Australia," Bateman said she believes cosmetic procedures like Botox "would erase" the authority she's gained through the years "I like feeling that I am a different person now than I was when I was 20," she said. "I like looking in the mirror and seeing that evidence. ... I think my face represents who I am. I like it.' Tips on embracing your natural beauty Remember that social media isn't real: Michael Keyes, M.D., a plastic surgery fellow at the University of Louisville, believes that "celebrities and influencers often use filters and photo editing apps to minimize skin discoloration, wrinkles and extra fat in unwanted places." "It's important from a wellness standpoint to recognize what's real and what's not," he previously told USA TODAY, adding he encourages following influencers who post unfiltered and raw photos instead.

Heidi Goodarzi, M.D., a board-certified dermatologist specializing in cosmetic and medical dermatology, previously told USA TODAY she suggests replacing foundation with tinted sunscreen for a wash of glow that won't conceal your natural features. Be kind to yourself: Susan Yara, founder of Naturium Skincare and the YouTube channel Mixed Makeup, previously told USA TODAY that as we age, we should be proud of our bodies for the experiences it has gone through. "My confidence is truly my secret weapon, and I gained it through years of experience and becoming comfortable with myself," she said. Contributing: Jenna Ryu and Brendan Morrow
