Denzel Washington is deemed one of the best actors of all time and a major A-lister with an impressive resume for his decades-long career, but he doesn't have the major Hollywood lifestyle that some of his peers have.

The actor also doesn't publicly share about his personal life and only prefers to discuss his work as an artist during the press tours of his films. After many years in the business, it is pretty impressive how he successfully managed to live outside the spotlight consistently.
