I Had No Idea Lenny Kravitz And Denzel Washington Were So Bromantic, But This Exchange About Malcolm X Is Too Funny

Lenny Kravitz And Denzel Washington have apparently been pals for more than three decades. Meeting in the ‘90s, their bromance broke wider when Washington was presented with a “Best Actor” award by Kravitz back in 2002. Since then, they’ve continued to make time for one another, with the a-lister even showing up last year for Kravitz’s Walk of Fame ceremony. They hang out, their kids hang out, and the families hang out. Kravitz even got Washington into fitness. This is all well-documented, but somehow I’d missed the memo. That is until the “American Woman” singer told this funny story about talking to his pal after watching Spike Lee’s famous movie Malcolm X.

One tenet of the two men’s friendship is apparently keeping up with one another on the phone. In an interview with Rob Report, Kravitz opened up about a call that happened right after the incredibly fit singer got through Malcolm X. Apparently, Denzel told him he hadn’t seen the movie in decades, and the singer had an amusing response.
