Denzel Washington was pictured looking trimmer at the 76ers–Lakers game.
The actor was seen sitting courtside just before the game on Thursday, Feb. 5.
Ahead of the game, LeBron was near the bench, with Denzel seated across the court. However, Denzel warmed hearts when he decided it was an opportune moment to take a walk over to the NBA superstar.
A fan in the seats near one of the baskets recorded Denzel as he stood up and started to walk across towards the Lakers’ bench.
“Let’s go, Denzel! Let’s go, Denzel!” a fan exclaimed as he watched Denzel walk past on the baseline.
When Denzel got to where LeBron was, the two superstars shook hands and hugged, and a fan exclaimed, “Oh s***” from their seat, surprised by the cool interaction.
Meanwhile fans have reacted to photos of Denzel’s trimmer frame, with many expressing sorrow at the signs of aging visible on him.

Why’s this frame & angle making it look like he’s so frail and on a wheel chair?? pic.twitter.com/s3yciGw3uA
