Denzel Washington has turned down a $50 million Disney project, citing the company as “too woke.” Washington expressed a desire to focus on a film about a regular guy who recycles for the right reasons, not to impress anyone. This decision contrasts with Disney’s recent endeavors to infuse progressive themes into its projects, from eco-conscious princesses to a “Frozen” sequel featuring a composting musical number. Hollywood’s response varies, with some suggesting Washington is out of touch, while others question the value of rejecting $50 million over wokeness. Social media erupted with #TooWokeForDenzel, sharing memes of Washington puzzled by modern trends. Despite the uncertainty about the impact on his career, one thing is evident: staying current in Hollywood is crucial. Disney is reportedly seeking another actor aligned with their vision, rumored to be a sustainable fashion advocate with a pet alpaca named “Eco.”
