Denzel Washington is almost a decade sober and he's ready to open up about his experiences with addiction.
The 69-year-old Oscar winner and "Gladiator II" star reflected on his relationship with alcohol and substances in an interview with Esquire. The actor told the publication his addiction began with wine, specifically with a wine cellar he had built into his home where he "learned to drink my best." He said, “Wine is very tricky. It’s very slow. It ain’t like, boom, all of a sudden . . . Wine was my thing, and now I was popping $4,000 bottles just because that’s what was left."
