Denzel Washington Set Daughter’s Boyfriend Straight

Denzel Washington (53) revealed Tuesday night on Late Show with David Letterman he was a bit rough with his daughter katia’s boyfriend who had too many ear rings.

"My oldest girl [Katia] has got a boyfriend, who is at the school where she is. He is obviously very bright, but has too many earrings for my liking. I told him, ’I’m not gonna be that friendly with you.’…I put my oldest boy on him – to put the fear of God into him. I said, ’Kick him around a bit. Tenderize him. I’ll finish him off.’"

He added, "It is a double standard because, with my boys, I’m like, `That’s my boy.’"

Katia is a sophomore at Yale and her older brother, John David (23) is a running back on the practice squad for the St. Louis Rams.

The more I hear about Denzel, the more respect I have for him.
