Denzel Washington GQ October 2012 Cover Shoot by Nathaniel Goldberg

Denzel Washington is photographed by Nathaniel Goldberg for the October 2012 GQ issue. The two-time Oscar winner shows us how to make a double-breasted suit look timeless.

An excerpt from the interview:

Do you have any code you live by?
I read from the Bible every day, and I read my Daily Word. I read something great yesterday. It said, “Don’t aspire to make a living. Aspire to make a difference.”

Is there an actor who has influenced you?
There’s a scene in The Godfather II. De Niro’s in a theater. And he’s looking back. It’s just a look. I don’t think I’ve ever imitated another actor, but there’s nothing wrong with learning from them.
