Denzel Washington once turned down a love scene with Julia Roberts out
of loyalty to his female African-American fans, Allison Samuels
reveals in her new book, "Off the Record" (Amistad).
Washington explained: "Black women are not often seen as objects of desire
on film. And they have always been my core audience."
The Oscar winner also said he turned down the starring role in "Love
Field" with Michelle Pfeiffer because of the N-word. "It was n— this and n—
that. I wasn't going to be but so many n—s in a film."
