Hilarious reactions to Denzel Washington’s movie makeover

THE internet is having an absolute field day over Denzel Washington’s new look.

THE internet is having an absolute field day over Denzel Washington’s new look.

The Academy Award winner has been spotted out and about in character for his new movie Inner City, a legal drama set in the ‘70s, in which he plays an undervalued lawyer who is suddenly put in charge of a firm.

And he’s undergone a total makeover for the part.

In the first pictures from the set, a heavier Washington is seen rocking a ‘70s ensemble complete with big glasses, bell-bottomed pants and an afro.

He accessorised the look with — what else? — a cassette player.

Denzel is totally unrecognisable. Picture: BackGrid

As soon as the photos surfaced, there was a strong (and hilarious) reaction on Twitter.
