#DenzelWashington opens up about his journey to sobriety and embracing a healthier lifestyle as he nears his 70th birthday. Known for his discipline and dedication to his craft, he revealed how his love for fine wine once consumed a significant part of his life. “Wine was my thing,” he shared, explaining how his passion for rare and expensive vintages grew over the years, eventually leading him to confront the impact it was having on his body. “I’ve been clean since sixty,” he proudly revealed, noting that his decision to give up alcohol nearly a decade ago has opened a new chapter in his life. Despite the indulgences of the past, Denzel made it clear that he never allowed drinking to interfere with his work, always maintaining a strict balance between his craft and personal life. Reflecting on his journey, he acknowledged the subtle, gradual pull of alcohol and how he learned to let it go. Now, with a clear focus on self-care and longevity, the two-time Oscar winner is thinking deeply about how he wants to spend the years ahead. “If I get another thirty years, what do I want to do? This is the last chapter—and it’s okay.” Denzel’s honest and inspiring perspective is a testament to his resilience and commitment to living life with purpose. (📸: Getty Images )
