‘The American Gangster’ star Denzel Washington never wanted to become a huge Hollywood star. Denzel’s childhood dream was to be a football player rather than Oscar wining actor.

Denzel told US talk show host Oprah Winfrey,

‘I wanted to be a football player. But God had his own plan.

My son is taking care of that for me, he’s living the dream. I studied theatre and thought I’d do Broadway shows one day and make $650 a week. I had no intention of going to Hollywood and never really thought about it.’
