In a surprising move, Denzel Washington, known for his compelling performances, declined a lucrative $50 million project with Disney, citing the company as “too woke” for his taste. While some view this as a principled stance, others question if Washington is out of touch with current trends.

Disney has been championing progressive values, introducing characters passionate about recycling and veganism. Their rumored project involves a composting musical within the world of “Frozen.” However, Washington expressed a desire for a film featuring a regular guy who recycles for moral reasons, not to impress a love interest, longing for characters with deeper complexities.

Hollywood’s reaction to Washington’s decision has been mixed. While some view him as living under a rock, others joke about wanting to be “too woke” for $50 million. Fans joined the conversation on social media, with memes poking fun at Washington’s perceived disconnect from modern trends.

The impact of Washington’s stance on his career remains uncertain. However, in the dynamic landscape of Hollywood, staying current is essential. Disney is reportedly exploring other options, including an actor passionate about sustainable fashion and with an alpaca named “Eco.” Stay tuned for updates.
