: We all knew Denzel Washington as one of the most SUCCESSFUL actors of our time. Well MediaTakeOut.com just got its hands on a new report, published by YAHOO NEWS, which says that when he was 14 years old - he was hooked on heroin.

WOW!! Glad he got off that ... Kinda makes us respect him even more now..

MsEgolicious

THIS IS OLD NEWS ON HOW HE WAS A DRUGGIE AND THEN GOT HIS BIG BREAK


VicSage

How the fck is this relevant in 2009?" And if this was in fact true then this was when Denzel was 14 yrs old;that being said, that was eons ago obviously because he's decades away from 14.." True Talk.


Stephana78

Still sexy to me....Your pass is your pass....


Tashana09

Say it aint so!!!!


HotSauce

So he slayed that demon and made something of himself. Good ***!!

GRNDDUCHESS

Alltheway_live

He's come a long way from being a smack addict!


paperboy64

wonderful3

MTO, you guys have gott to be kiddin me..to actually report this..whoda heck gives a flyin nun about where he was and what he was doing at the age of 14yrs/o. I could think of a million and one things I was doing and *** have at the age of 14..You will not be able to tarnish Denzie's image..people love this guy regardles..especially BLACK WOMEN, Yahoo...ya messin wit da wrong man. Love ya Denzie


SimplyMyself

wow top 40!! Good thing he kicked it!!


moneyhungry

did he score *h* @ the girls and boys club?



yardiecarole

Denzel is my heartbeat everytime, and whatever he did in the PAST, can YAHOO leave it in the past. America doesn't like it when Black people has money because they always come up with some scandal or keep up almshouse on our celebrity, like for e.g , R. Kelly, Mike Tyson, P.Diddy, Michael Jackson, the list is never ending; Denzel has never had any scandal on his name but trust some *** of the earth to go and dig that up to try and taint the man's name. YAHOO GO AND FIND SOMETHING CONSTRUCTIVE TO REPORT ABOUT AND LEAVE DENZEL WASHINGTON ALONE.


MissAmerica1

I think the operative word is "WAS"!! We all go through something in our lives, he's human too!!

Enough said!!!!


PINUPVIXEN

I don't believe it at all.... And if he was look at him now. Anyway MTO why would you post something this? What does it matter?


msINtense

***: ***,*** the fcuk up! Unless you are woman enough to display ur true identity behind ur mask,you need to *** up! Denzel has way more class,money and status than ur low class,insecure,no job or life,ugly,uneducated,scared of black people azz could ever be.You are the *** nygger,***,i didnt appreciate all that *** you talk about black people every day.Your azz is probably was and still is on drugs,your *** self.So just *** THE FCUK UP,***!


newsland

i dont know


sassycrim

Until I hear it come out of his mouth I don't believe it. He said that he was a troubled youth and he turned to the girls and boys club, but he never mentioned herion. Come and check out my you tube page @ [link to external website removed] , subscribe, rate and comment.


atldva

***! That's why his teeth were so jacked when he was younger...but he's ok wit me cuz he kicked the habit and became the fine specimen we know and love today.


SkinBiz

back in the 70's and 80's you were either doing them, selling then, or holding the money. he's one of the lucky ones that made it.

jv10806

It matters because it shows that you can be down and out in life, but we gotta get upand help ourselves. Anything is attainable in life tomorrow, no matter what obstacles are in front of you today. Good for Denzel.


SugsWorth

ForeverDope

Well this goes to show Heroine ain't as bad as cigarettes.LOL!

It's ok Denzel, many artists were into such illegal actions. You're still rich. LOL!

Agreat

Who cares? Everybody makes mistakes !!


JstBReal

its actually inspiring to know that if somebody like Denzel can hit rock bottom and rise from it, then theres hope for anybody going thru hard times.


ladytroublesome

His new movie is GOOOOD!


IMSOBEAUTIFUL

Denzel wasn't no addicted, he was just dabblin'. Ain't nothin' wrong with a taste.



DAMENALLPAUZ

THIS IS THE MOST TALENTED BLACK ACTOR IN OUR LIFETIME AND IT PAINS ME AND MOST OF THE VIEWERS HERE THAT YOU WOULD TAKE THE TIME TO VIEW SUCH IGNORANCE SHAME ON YOU MEDIA!!!


G-Man007

Why is MTO reporting on something that happened 41 years ago! Denzel is 55 years old and yall want to talk about something that may have happened when he was 14...SO LAME!!!


imsickoftvnradio

This is my favorite actor. Hands down. Maybe that is one of the reasons he is such a great actor because he has experienced a lot.


imsickoftvnradio

Hello Good_downsouth and Foreverdope.

MTO wrong for this pic. They found a pic to match what the story is. I still luv Denzel.


prettiladi83

THE PAST IS WHAT MAKES THE MAN

msmochachina

In hollywood, whom hasn't been hooked on some kind of drug? I like Denzel, he keeps in classy, but he is human. Celebrities are people just like us. What makes them immune to the fallacies of life?


rockIN

majority of actors/actress was on drugs when they was kids.. leave mr washington alone.


ladysly1

THAT'S MY GUY! THIS STORY DOESN'T SURPRISE ME THOUGH. IT SEEMS LIKE ALL OF THE GREAT ACTORS HAVE SOME KIND OF DRUG ADDICTION. I COMMEND DENZEL FOR KICKING HIS ADDICTION. HERION IS A TERRIBLE ADDICTION TO KICK.


MochaDLight

Wouldn't put it past him, but this is new to me. And why would they bring it up after all this time?

He did it when he was 14 and over came it to become a success. He should be an inspiration to those who are still struggling to overcome this addiction.


dollish

ok that was when he was 14...


butch31

Lmao...as if! I am sure he still on it.


latina-sade

I'll still let him hit it!!!!


SouthernGal83

BLUE MAGIC IS A HELLUVA DRUG!...

-------------------------------------------- I put the 'e' in ignant...


50RoundDrum

Even if he did do that back in the days , who gives an old fashion azz ***. Thats the man right there, I'll back him 100!


Fastlane

he very well could have, drug use is rampant in Hollyweird.


chi-hop

co-sign moneyhungry i thought he was so involed with the boys and girls club at this time? not buying this unless it comes out of denzel mouth


HotATLNurse

and who is perfect??


chocolaterain

Wow. maybe Frank Lucas was selling him the stuff. true American Gangster.

get that BLUE MAGIC!! lol

Anyway glad he got off that ***. To say he turned his life around would be an understatatement.


PrayerPartner1

I used to smoke a nickel and dime bag of weed when I was a teenager. We all have a past. I Thank God for saving me. Denzel is saved now and rich, rich, rich.



chi-hop

p.s. even if he did denzel is 50 something now so who cares he kicked it and beat the odds and is one of the greastest not just BLACK but greatest actors period!!


SoDown2Mars

*


Dreayonn

Alight! This happened when he was 14. Obviously this is old news and those who followed his career knew this already.


QTBROWN1

well if true...that was the past. at least,he's now a very successful, rich, talented and famous man..


MissJNS

Glad he's clean now. A lot of people have demons. Instead of using this to make him look bad, MTO...try uplifting and pray he stays on the right track?


keshiaford

never heard a thing bout this . . . smh - iloveeyouudenzel !


BlockHeads

***. I never would have thought Denzel did any drugs. Glad he kicked that habit.


TheNaga77

Not suprised! He also snorted coke. I dont understand how ppl are so quick to forgive a celebrity for past drug use but neglect their own family when they try to come back around. But as long as they are not like Gator from Jungle Fever


halo

And, so what! its in his past which does not defines who he is today isn't that the lesson here stupid idiots. How many people can say that and has his/her life reflect whats factual and the man is sixty something now? so that was waaaay long ago nobody is perfect but leave it up to MTO you'd think its just yesterday.


Superstarchick

so was your president. Denzel still is a great actor and on the road of legendary status. Carry on haters, nothing to be seen here.

I've worked with Denzel before and if this is true, so what? That's old news and his struggle ya feel me. I have nothing but respect for this brutha and the contributions he makes in todays society are remarkable. I won't believe something like this unless the man says it himself.

sojo

No man is perfect. It took courage for him to share and I am sure that the experience made him a better actor.


2much4tv

shaunda1098428

mixedsignal82

People always want to point out people problems when your at the top. Denzel don't care what people thinks about him. He made his money and sleeps very well at ***.
