00:00Did you know that there are currently four players named Denzel in the NFL?
00:28I know. There's a lot of Denzels. There weren't that many before your first Oscar. There was zero in 1987.
00:36And this is how you know they named themselves after me. Because, wait a minute, because my name's not pronounced Denzel. My name's pronounced Denzel.
00:46Oh. I'm Denzel Jr.
00:48My father's Denzel Hayes Washington, Sr. I'm Denzel Hayes Washington, Jr.
01:03My mother would say, Denzel? And we both show up.
01:07So she said, from now on, you're Denzel.
01:09Denzel. That's how he got pronounced Denzel.
