John David Washington is making it clear that his mother is deserving of the same level of respect as his father.
During a recent appearance on the Today show, to promote his latest project BlacKKKlansman, John David made certain his mother received equal billing for his successful ascent in the acting business.
“She was on Broadway working. She paid for the first date, she paid the bill, paid for the cab ride,” the young actor explained.
“[She is] a classically trained pianist who went to Julliard. She’s a great artist in her own right and I learned a lot from her,” he added.
His father Denzel’s accolades may be more well known but his mother Pauletta has been a long time fixture in the industry.
