On Monday, Denzel Washington and wife Paulette Pearson stood on the red carpet at the premier of Washington’s new movie “2 Guns”. During an interview, the actor announced that he is set to appear in a revival of Lorraine Hansberry’s “A Raisin in the Sun.”
Previews are set to begin in March, and Washington went on to explain his motivations for joining the cast. “I’m trying to keep up with my wife. My wife has been doing a lot more theater than me,” he said as Pearson smiled.
The couple will be headed to North Carolina for the National Black Theatre Festival, where Pearson is starring in the award-winning “Power Play”.
“I’m looking forward to one day singing,” Washington said playfully to Pearson’s amusement. “See, I just wanted to get something out of her. She knows I can’t sing. But she can sing.”
As they walked away, the 58-year-old actor quipped, “I can sing. I can sing … in the shower.”
