Oscar-winning actor
Denzel Washington says he wants to portray sadomasochist, someone who gets sexual pleasure from hurting or being hurt by someone else. Though he is intrigued by such character, the 54-year-old star admits that he "would rather play a character who likes it than be exposed to violent sexual acts himself."
"Oh, I've been very bad. Do you think you should punish me? I don't know anything about sadomasochism, but there must be that aspect about it - powerful people wanting to be humiliated," Denzel tells Britain's Culture magazine. "Maybe I get it out of playing someone who is humiliated, being reminded of what that is."
Denzel Washington, who was last seen starring on "
The Taking of Pelham 123", claims he really enjoys playing different roles on various genres of movies. "I firmly believe I'm an investigative journalist, that's what I do. I investigate characters. I don't write it, just talk it. My journalism work, and even my history work, prepared me to dig deep, to look, to find, to contextualise," Denzel testifies.
