When they sat down together for Thrillist’s Off Script interview, Foxx had an interesting story to tell, which only somewhat proves DiCaprio’s statement that Washington knows this stuff.
“You was at Roxbury one day, back in the day… you don’t remember this. But I literally ran across the street and tried to hug you. But you did some kind of move (illustrating the elbow strike block technique)… I’m like ‘Man, I’m just trying to give you your props, D.'”
To which Washington just laughed and tried to defend himself while at the same time exclaiming that he tends to do this when people approach him. This just proves that theAmerican Gangstaractor is a force to be reckoned with.
