Denzel Washington recalled feeling protective of Whitney Houston after they worked together on ‘The Preacher’s Wife’
Whitney Houston and Denzel Washington at the NAACP Image Awards on April 6, 1996 in Los Angeles, California.
'I felt like I always wanted to protect her,' the Oscar winner, 69, said on Saturday, June 15, while speaking at the African Black Film Festival. When host Chaz Ebert, widow of the late Roger Ebert, asked whether Washington saw a “vulnerability” in Houston, the Training Day actor replied, 'So you really got that?'
'I always felt like I wanted to protect her. You know?” Washington continued. “She wanted to be so tough, but she really wasn't. That's all.' “Whitney was my girl, and she had done so well in recovery,” Washington said in September 2012. “And that is the toughest part about addiction. “And that was a monster drug that got a hold of her, it was a mean one. You can't go back to that one. Nobody beats that.”
