Nicola Porcella Biography

Nicola Emilio Porcella Solimano (February 5, 1988), better known as Nicola Porcella, is an actor and TV personality born in Lima, Peru. He is known for his controversies and for his appearances in various reality shows, including “La Casa de Los Famosos Mexico”.

 

Early years

Nicola Porcella is a renowned Peruvian television personality and actor. He is the youngest son of Francesco Porcella and Fiorella Solimano. His family has Italian roots and he has two older siblings.

He attended primary school at Colegio Carmelitas. Later, during his secondary studies, the family moved to Argentina for a period of time. In this country, Nicola began training in football. Upon returning to his homeland a few years later, he resumed his studies at Colegio Agnus Dei.

Nicola Porcella studied law, communications, hotel management, international business administration, and aviation, but only completed the latter. In order to obtain his pilot’s license, he had to fulfill certain requirements and flight hours, but he did not do so.

 

Beginnings

Before jumping into television fame, Nicola tried his luck with the sport he trained for. He began his football career in the youth division of Circolo Sportivo Italiano, winning youth tournaments. In 2006, he made his professional debut at FBC Melgar. Later, he joined Deportivo Municipal in 2008 and Sport Boys in 2010. Despite his talent, he decided to retire from football in 2010 to work as a cabin crew member. His image became popular in media campaigns for the chalaco team, of which he is a fan. Afterward, he ventured into aviation as a pilot and later into television.

 

Career

Nicola began his career as a model and later ventured into television. His first television appearance was in a cameo role in the series “Así Es La Vida” in 2006. His participation in “Combate”, a sports competition show between teams, allowed him to gain popularity and be recognized by the youth audience. Later, his success continued with his participation in “Esto Es Guerra”, another competition show where participants face physical and mental challenges. He was the first contestant to win the program, achieving this feat alongside the participant and former romantic partner, Angie Arizaga.

Throughout his television career, Nicola Porcella has been a controversial figure due to various controversies that have arisen in his personal and professional life. However, he has also been one of the most recognized faces on Peruvian television and has amassed a large number of followers and fans.

In 2013, he had a guest appearance in the miniseries “Vacaciones en Grecia”. The following year, in 2014, he was part of the Peruvian version of “Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?” and also appeared in “The Choice”. He also joined as a co-host on the show “Estás En Todas” in 2014, and later became a permanent presenter in 2017.

In 2015, Nicola made a special appearance in the telenovela “Ven, Baila, Quinceañera” and took the opportunity to receive acting classes. That same year, he had his debut as a presenter on the reality show “Esto Es Guerra Teens”. A year later, alongside Rafael Cardozo, he was part of the program “El Búnker”, where he continued participating until 2018.

In 2018, he joined the cast of the telenovela “Te Volveré A Encontrar” as Nicolás Valdemar. The following year, Porcella changed channels after being with the television network América for seven years. In this new channel, he participated in hosting the program “Todo Por Amor”, alongside Karina Rivera. Subsequently, Nicola traveled to Mexico to take part in the reality show “Guerreros” by Televisa, where he stood out with a 54% victory rate in the challenges and was among the top 10 contestants of the first season.

In 2021, he led the Peruvian delegation in the confrontation against a similar program from Puerto Rico in “Esto Es Guerra”, but his team lost. He also resumed hosting duties on “El Show De Los Sábados” and participated in the second season of “Guerreros”. In September, he joined the team of the Mexican reality show to face the Peruvian counterpart and ultimately emerged victorious. Afterwards, he returned to acting for the Mexican network and took part in the third season of “Reto 4 Elementos”. Additionally, he started hosting a talk show on YouTube featuring personalities from the Peruvian and international entertainment industry.

In February 2023, Nicola Porcella received an invitation to participate in the renowned reality show “La Casa De Los Famosos México”. The program is broadcasted on TelevisaUnivision and EndemolShine Boomdog channels, including Las Estrellas, Canal 5, and the streaming service Vix. During his stay in the show, rumors of a possible relationship with Wendy Guevara emerged, although, up to this point, they have only shown a friendship with great chemistry.

The Peruvian was the first finalist of the famous reality show, “La Casa de Los Famosos México”.

 

Personal life

The love life of the celebrity has been a subject of curiosity for many people. He had a relationship with Francesca Lazo, a professional makeup artist and influencer, with whom he has a son named Adriano Porcella Lazo.

He has also been romantically linked to Angie Arizaga, Romina Lozano, and Ale Campaña. During his participation in a reality show, he was linked with his fellow contestant Catherine Civerio.

Currently, Nicola Porcella appears to be single. During his time on “La Casa de Los Famosos México”, he openly declared himself pansexual.

 

Controversies

Nicola Porcella has been the subject of public criticism due to his questionable behavior and controversial actions.

 

Horror Party

In 2019, Nicola was involved in a media scandal during a party in the district of Asia, in the southern part of the Lima department. It was said that two celebrities, Claudia Meza and Paula Ávila, were drugged and apparently abused. Both of them filed complaints.

Claudia Meza, former beauty queen, stated that after trying a drink that was offered to her, she felt sick and passed out. Upon waking up, she saw Nicola, Daniela, and Paula Ávila beside her.

Paula Ávila also gave her testimony to the press, stating that she was drugged without her consent with amphetamines. The following day, she underwent a toxicological examination that confirmed the consumption of amphetamines.

As a consequence of these events, Nicola was removed from the reality show “Esto Es Guerra” and the program “Estás En Todas”. Later, he attended the program “El Valor De La Verdad” to deny his involvement in the incidents. Months later, he resumed his work on the programs but filed a defamation lawsuit against the presenter Magaly Medina, which he eventually won. However, the verdict in his favor was overturned in 2021. The lawsuit also affected his participation in the reality show, but after resolving the conflict, he was able to return in 2016.

 

Angie Arizaga

The relationship between Nicola and his reality show partner, Angie Arizaga, was highly controversial due to the problematic attitudes of the Peruvian. The situation became public after a friend of Angie leaked a call where she confessed that Nicola had allegedly physically assaulted her and even attempted to strangle her.

Later on, a video surfaced in which Nicola was addressing Arizaga in a rude manner. Initially, she denied the abuse and tried to justify it as a relationship matter, but later changed her stance and claimed to be a victim of mistreatment. After several conflicting statements, Angie once again denied the mistreatment. Subsequently, Nicola accepted an invitation to participate in the show “El Valor De La Verdad”, where he publicly admitted to having engaged in verbal abuse.

In 2018, the couple decided to end their romance amicably, as stated by the model. Three years later, Nicola publicly apologized for the incident involving Angie on the program “La Academia: Desafío Y Fama”. Since then, he has chosen to stay away from Peruvian television.

Wendy Guevara Biography

Wendy Guevara Venegas (August 12, 1993), better known as Wendy Guevara, is an influencer, actress, singer, and entrepreneur, hailing from León de Los Aldama, Guanajuato, Mexico. She is famous and widely recognized for being a member of the group “Las Perdidas” due to a viralized video.

 

Early years

Wendy Guevara is a talented Mexican influencer, actress, singer, and entrepreneur, identified as a transgender woman. She is the daughter of Francisco Guevara and Fabiola Venegas Vázquez. At birth, she was named and baptized with the name Luis Carmen Guevara Venegas. She has three siblings.

Despite coming from a humble and hardworking family, Wendy had to face the dysfunction caused by her father’s addictions. During her childhood, she spent a lot of time on the streets, and her older sister became a mother figure to her, providing care and protection.

Her family was involved in the footwear industry, dedicated to the creation and manufacturing of shoes. Over time, Wendy also worked in the family business. However, later on, she was forced to engage in prostitution for a few years in Mexico City.

 

Rise to fame

Towards the end of the penultimate quarter of 2017, Wendy Guevara found herself on a hill in the city, accompanied by her friend Paola Suárez, who is now a renowned influencer. At that moment, they were enjoying a romantic encounter with two men while drinking, well aware that drinking in public could attract the attention of the police. As their companions went out to buy more beers, Wendy and Paola took the opportunity to record a fun video in which they shouted to the wind, “¡Estamos perdidas!” (We’re lost!) and the other echoed back, “Perdidas, perdidas” (Lost, lost). Paola shared the video on her Facebook account, generating great amusement among internet users, who began to share it massively. This video became the turning point that propelled both content creators to fame.

Shortly after, the two young women were invited to the MTV Millennial Awards to receive recognition for their viral internet videos. Since Paola lived in Mexico City, Wendy made the decision to start sharing content on YouTube and asked her friend Kimberly Irene to join her in creating videos.

Career

After their video went viral, Wendy, Paola, and Kimberly embarked on an exciting artistic project called “Las Perdidas” (The Lost Girls). These talented creators of audiovisual content share their videos on the YouTube platform and have also had the opportunity to participate in various television programs and other platforms. In 2019, Wendy and Paola made their television debut by being part of a virtual special for the popular telenovela “Doña Flor Y Sus Dos Maridos”, produced by Televisa. As their content has grown, they have added more people to their group of friends, forming what is now known as “El Clan de Las Perdidas” (The Clan of The Lost Girls).

In 2021, Guevara began her career in the music industry, introducing a series of promotional singles. These include “Mua”, “Hey Perra”, “Hasta Que Salga El Sol”, “Putssy” in collaboration with the talented drag queen singer Trixy Star, as well as “Las Bebas Trans” and “Tu Malandrito” in collaboration with Pol Prince.

During 2022, Wendy and her group of influencer friends had the opportunity to collaborate with the renowned journalist Adela Micha on the show “La Saga”. Shortly after, the trio thrilled their followers by confirming their participation in the biographical television series “Ellas Soy Yo”, which is based on the life of the talented singer Gloria Trevi.

After releasing her promotional single “TAPU” in February 2023, Wendy received an invitation to participate in the renowned reality show “La Casa De Los Famosos Mexico”, which was broadcasted on the TelevisaUnivision and EndemolShine Boomdog channels, including Las Estrellas, Canal 5, and the streaming service Vix. During her stay on the show, rumors of a potential relationship with Nicola Porcella surfaced, although up to that point, they had only displayed a friendship with great chemistry.

Finally, on August 13, 2023, Wendy Guevara emerged as the winner of the program, achieving a milestone by becoming the first transgender woman to win a reality show in Mexico. Her victory became etched in the country’s history and in the hearts of her followers.

 

 

Personal life

Since childhood, before beginning her transition, Wendy faced episodes of violence from her father and older brother. Francisco Guevara did not accept his child playing with dolls, and her older brother used to report her, leading to physical abuse towards Wendy as a consequence. As Wendy grew older, her older brother also began facing ridicule and harassment due to his childhood appearance, which resulted in him perpetuating violence against Wendy as well. Nowadays, the influencer shares this period of her life with sadness and reflects that at some point, her older brother might have felt ashamed of her.

During her adolescence, when Guevara began questioning her sexual orientation, preferences, and gender identity, she had the opportunity to see trans actresses and celebrities on television who excelled in the industry. One of these inspiring figures was the renowned actress Alejandra Bogue, who was one of the first women to motivate Wendy to embrace her true identity and define herself as a transgender woman.

In that process, the content creator received support from her neighbor Lucero, a transgender woman who owns a hair salon in their neighborhood. The generous lady Lucero opened the doors of her business to several young people in the area so they could get themselves done there. At first, Wendy identified herself as Vianney, but it was her neighbor who suggested another name and baptized her as “Wendy”, in honor of the character played by Angélica Vale in the telenovela “Amigas y Rivales”, named Wendy Nayeli.

Currently, Wendy Guevara is in a period of being single, fully enjoying her life and her growing fame.

 

Her experience in prison

Wendy experienced a period of 48 days of confinement in the holding cells of León, Guanajuato, for engaging in prostitution. It is important to mention that prostitution is prohibited in that state of Mexico. Unfortunately, during her time in the holding cells, she went through extremely difficult situations that nobody should ever experience.

 

Victim of various abuses

From an early age, Wendy went through multiple challenges. She had to confront a dysfunctional family dynamic, marked by her father’s alcoholism and drug addiction. At the same time, she dealt with doubts and insecurities related to her sexuality and gender identity.

Sister’s mate

Unfortunately, at the age of seven, she became a victim of sexual abuse by a stranger. Subsequently, it was discovered that the perpetrator was a companion of her older sister. This tragic event took place during the holiday season while Wendy was spending time with her cousins, taking part in the creation of lanterns and bonfires. The young girl mentioned that at that moment, she felt fear and couldn’t do anything to defend herself. Sadly, the incident was only halted belatedly due to the brave intervention of her cousin, who quickly informed her aunts and other family members. Aware of the seriousness of the situation, they immediately alerted the authorities, leading to the arrest of the aggressor and his subsequent prosecution.

Sadly, this incident left a profound mark on Wendy’s life. In a revealing interview, she confessed that she continued experiencing nocturnal enuresis until the age of 14 as a direct result of the trauma she had lived through. However, thanks to the psychological support she received, the influencer was able to address and, with time, process what had happened. The therapeutic process allowed her to heal and gradually come to terms with the traumatic events she had faced.

 

A relative of her cousins

At the age of twelve, she was a victim of a cousin’s relative, who was already older at that time, and he asked her to touch him inappropriately for a minor. Unfortunately, she didn’t talk about this event when she was young. She exposed it now that she is recognized to alert her followers and parents, urging them to take care of and supervise children’s childhood, and to try to preserve their innocence.

 

Taquero

Amidst a distressing escape from a man determined to attack her with a machete, fate led Wendy to a busy Oaxacan taco stand. Desperate to find help, she approached the manager of the place, who kindly provided her refuge in his van. However, behind the façade of kindness, a dark and terrifying secret was concealed: the manager took advantage of Wendy’s vulnerable situation to commit a disgusting act, touching her inappropriately without her consent.

 

Police officer

During her time in jail, in the detention cells, a police officer would pretend to conduct an inspection in a room. He would call a group of women and have them go individually into the room, where he would abuse them. Unfortunately, Wendy was also a victim of this man, who forced each inmate to perform oral sexual acts.

Paris Hilton Biography

Paris Whitney Hilton (February 17, 1981), better known as Paris Hilton, is a socialite, businesswoman, model, DJ, designer, and singer, born in New York, United States. She is one of the most famous heiresses on an international level and a prominent icon of American culture.

 

Early years

Paris Hilton is a prominent American celebrity, being the firstborn child of Richard Hilton and Kathy Avanzino. Her ancestry is an interesting blend of origins, including German, Italian, Irish, English, and Norwegian roots. It is no coincidence that she inherits her lineage of success, as she is the great-granddaughter of Conrad Hilton, the hotel magnate and founder of the famous Hilton hotel chain.

She grew up in an affluent family, enjoying a life filled with luxury and comforts from an early age. Paris is the eldest of four siblings, among whom are Nicky Hilton, Barron Nicholas Hilton, and Conrad Hughes Hilton.

Due to her nomadic life, Paris Hilton lived in various places, which gave her the opportunity to attend different schools and meet a wide variety of people. During her childhood and youth, she established strong friendships with other young celebrities from high society, among them, Kim Kardashian and Nicole Richie.

She attended her freshman year of high school at Marywood-Palm Valley School in Rancho Mirage, California. Later, she had a brief stint at the Sacred Heart Convent alongside Lady Gaga. She continued her sophomore and penultimate year at Dwight School in New York. After that, she was transferred to Canterbury Boarding School in New Milford, Connecticut, where she was part of the hockey team. However, she was expelled in early 1999 for violating the rules.

 

Career

Although Paris Hilton initially rose to fame due to her family lineage, her presence in pop culture became prominent in the late 1990s and early 2000s, thanks to her media appearances and extravagant lifestyle. Her professional career took off when she starred in the reality show “The Simple Life” alongside her friend Nicole Richie, which aired from 2003 to 2007. In the show, both of them experienced comedic and challenging situations, working in various jobs far from their privileged environment, generating a massive fan following and further elevating their popularity.

Making use of her growing fame, Paris Hilton ventured into the world of music and released her debut album in 2006, titled “Paris”. The album included singles like “Stars Are Blind”. Although it didn’t achieve dazzling success, this foray allowed her to explore her musical side.

Her performance in the film, where she showcases both her vocal and acting abilities, has been well-received by critics. Interestingly, the movie’s director, Darren Lynn Bousman, had initially rejected the idea of casting Hilton for the role of Amber Sweet. However, in an interview, Bousman revealed that Paris was so determined to get the part that she carried the script with her while serving time in a Los Angeles prison, using that time to perfect her character. Her dedication and effort were remarkable, and she ultimately impressed the team with her performance.

Despite her fame in other fields, Paris Hilton’s true professional career has been focused on the world of business. She has achieved significant success with the launch of several lines of perfumes, which have generated considerably high revenues. Her fragrance product brand has been especially successful, reaching million-dollar sales and establishing her as a prominent figure in this lucrative market.

Her presence in runway shows for renowned designers like The Blonds and Christian Cowan reaffirmed her relevance on the catwalk and her prominent position in the fashion world.

Intimate video of Paris Hilton

By the year 2003, an intimate video of Paris Hilton engaging in sexual relations with her then-boyfriend Rick Salomon was leaked. Salomon sued the company that leaked the video and the Hilton family, accusing them of damaging his reputation. Hilton also sued the company that released the tape for invasion of privacy. In April 2004, Salomon distributed the tape under the title “1 Night in Paris” through the movie company Red Light District Video. Eventually, in that same year, Salomon and Red Light District Video stated that they would pay Paris $400,000 plus a percentage of the profits from the tape’s sales. Years later, the famous heiress claimed that she never made any money from the video.

Biography of Leonardo DiCaprio

Leonardo Wilhelm DiCaprio is a renowned actor and film producer who has won numerous awards within the film industry. He was born on November 11, 1974, in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California, United States.

DiCaprio is an only child of Irmelin Indenbirken, a secretary born in Germany, and George DiCaprio, an underground comic artist and producer/distributor of comics. On his father’s side, he has half-Italian (from Naples) and half-German (from Bavaria) ancestry. On the other hand, on his mother’s side, his grandfather Wilhelm Indenbirken was German and his grandmother Helene Indenbirken was a German citizen born in Russia under the name Yelena Smirnova.

He was named Leonardo because, while his pregnant mother was looking closely at a painting by the great artist Leonardo da Vinci in a museum, DiCaprio gave a strong kick inside her belly. His parents divorced when he was only one year old, and they shared custody of Leonardo until 1997.

Studies, beginnings in acting.

As for his education, he did not attend university and only took basic courses at John Marshall High School in Los Angeles. His career in the world of image and acting began when he followed his older stepbrother, Adam Farrar, in television advertising, starring in a commercial for the Matchbox car brand at the age of fourteen and subsequently participating in educational films. At the age of five, he was also part of the children’s television series “Romper Room”, but had to leave it as it was detrimental to him.

“1990 – 1991: Debut in television and cinema”

In 1990, he made his true television debut when he was cast to be a part of the “Parenthood” ensemble, a series based on the film of the same name. He then landed minor roles in several series, including “The New Lassie” and “Roseanne,” as well as a brief part in “Santa Barbara.” His work in “Parenthood” and “Santa Barbara” earned him a nomination for the Young Artist Award for Best Young Actor. His big screen debut came in 1991 with the science fiction and horror movie “Critters.” Later on, he became a recurring member of the cast of the ABC sitcom “Growing Pains,” playing Luke Brower. However, DiCaprio didn’t achieve success in the film industry until 1992, when he was selected by Robert De Niro from among 400 young actors for the lead role in “This Boy’s Life,” which also starred Ellen Barkin and De Niro himself.

1993 – 1996

Later, in 1993, DiCaprio played the mentally disabled younger brother of Johnny Depp in “What’s Eating Gilbert Grape.” The film’s director, Lasse Hallström, admitted that he initially sought a less attractive actor, but he decided on DiCaprio because he had become “the most observant actor” among all who auditioned. The film was a great financial and critical success, resulting in Leonardo being highly praised for his performance, which led to him being awarded the National Board of Review for Best Supporting Actor and nominated for an Academy Award and a Golden Globe. Subsequently, he had roles in films such as “The Quick and the Dead” (1995) and was one of the leads in “Romeo + Juliet” (1996).

But his big break came with director James Cameron, who offered him the lead male role in Titanic (1997), a movie that not only won a considerable number of Academy Awards but also became a social phenomenon. Afterwards, DiCaprio gained greater acceptance in the cinematic world, so he was part of numerous films such as:

  • The Man in the Iron Mask (1998)
  • The Beach (2000)
  • Catch Me If You Can (2002)
  • The Aviator (2004)
  • The Assassination of Richard Nixon (2004)
  • Blood Diamond (2006)
  • Gardener of Eden (2007)
  • Body of Lies (2008)
  • Orphan (2009, as producer)
  • Shutter Island (2010)
  • Inception (2010)
  • Django Unchained (2012)
  • The Great Gatsby (2013)
  • Runner Runner (2013)
  • The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)
  • The Revenant (2015)
  • The Audition (2015).

Curiosities

Interestingly, he was nominated for an Oscar five times: Best Supporting Actor for What’s Eating Gilbert Grape, Best Actor for The Aviator, Blood Diamond and The Wolf of Wall Street. This generated a lot of jokes and talk of a supposed “curse” in Hollywood. But in 2015, he finally won the award thanks to his great performance in “The Revenant”.

It should also be noted that DiCaprio is a committed environmentalist who has received praise from environmental groups for choosing to fly on commercial flights instead of private planes like most celebrities, and for driving an electric hybrid vehicle and having solar panels in his home.

Biography of Denzel Washington

Denzel Washington is an African American actor born on December 28, 1954 in Mount Vernon, New York, United States. His father was a Pentecostal minister and his mother, belonging to the Baptist Church, owned a beauty salon. Upon graduating from school, he initially thought about studying medicine but later decided to study journalism at Fordham University. During his time as a counselor at a summer camp, he decided to participate in a theatrical production, and from then on, he began to develop a passion for acting. Upon his return, he began taking acting classes with Professor Robinson Stone.

Debut as an actor

Later, he moved to San Francisco to study at the American Conservatory Theater. Denzel was not inexperienced, having studied intensively at the ACT. After leaving the conservatory, he returned to New York to look for work as an actor. His debut in film was in 1965, when he played a minor role in the movie The Cincinnati Kid, which was called The King of the Game in Spain. Later, in 1977, he starred in the movie Wilma. Fortunately, he got his first leading role in Carbon Copy. In 1987, Washington played the role of South African black activist Stephen Biko in the film Cry Freedom, for which he was nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.

During this period, films based on events that sought to narrate the struggle for civil rights of African Americans, or the lives of Black men and women, had Denzel’s participation, and he felt very honored to collaborate in them. He is a very committed actor to his community. In 1989, he played one of the lead roles in Glory, about the participation of African Americans in the American Civil War, and he won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor as a result.

1990 – Consolidation as one of the best actors.

Starting in the 90s, Denzel Washington became a critically acclaimed actor and was also placed alongside the great Eddie Murphy, as both were the most successful African American actors of the time. Alongside Spike Lee, he filmed the biographical movie Malcolm X (1992), about the life of this activist of the American black community who was assassinated in 1965. He then played Tom Hanks‘ defense attorney, who was fired from his company for contracting AIDS in the movie Philadelphia (1993). In the world of theater, one of the most significant works he participated in was Much Ado About Nothing (1993), directed by actor and director Kenneth Branagh.

Throughout the 90s, Denzel’s popularity was undeniable as he starred in numerous films, including:

  • The Pelican Brief (1993)
  • Devil in a Blue Dress (1995)
  • Crimson Tide (1995)
  • Courage Under Fire (1996)
  • Fallen (1998)
  • The Siege (1998)
  • The Bone Collector (1999), a story about a paralyzed police officer investigating a series of murders.
  • The Hurricane (1999). This film marked a change in his career, as he played boxer Rubin “Hurricane” Carter, who was the victim of a racist police setup and spent 22 years in prison despite being innocent. Many years before, his story had inspired a famous Bob Dylan song.

Throughout his career, Denzel Washington has participated in commercial films, such as some in the action genre directed by Tony Scott. However, despite the changes in the world of cinema and the turn of the century, Denzel has remained one of the most highly regarded actors, characterized by his interpretive ability. Among his recent films, we highlight:

  • Training Day (2001), which earned him an Oscar for Best Leading Actor. It is worth noting that this award marked a milestone, as no African American actor had won it since the days of Sidney Poitier.
  • John Q (2001)
  • As a curious fact, he made his directorial debut in 2002 with the drama Antwone Fisher.
  • He starred in Out of Time (2003)
  • The Manchurian Candidate (2004)
  • Inside Man (2006)
  • Déjà vu (2006)
  • American Gangster (2007)
  • The Taking of Pelham 123 (2009)
  • Unstoppable (2010)
  • Flight (2012).

In The Safe House (2012), he starred alongside Ryan Reynolds. He then acted in 2 Guns (2013). In 2014, Denzel participated in several productions, one of which was The Equalizer (2014), a film co-starring Chloe Grace Moretz. Two years later, he played one of The Magnificent Seven (2016) and directed Fences, a film in which he also starred. Some years later, he was again nominated for the Oscar Award for his portrayal of an idealistic and driven defense attorney whose life is turned upside down when his mentor, a civil rights icon, dies. The movie is called Roman J. Israel, Esq, written and directed by Dan Gilroy. In addition to the Oscar nomination, Washington was also nominated for a Golden Globe for his work.
