Everyone Mistook Denzel Washington’s 21-Year-Old Daughter for His 62-Year-Old Wife Last Night

What an exciting stage in Olivia Washington's life. Old enough to enjoy a glamorous 3-hour awards show without squirming. Old enough to "get" all the jokes in the monologue. Old enough to sip champagne at a table full of stars. Old enough to be mistaken as her father's romantic partner all night.

Denzel Washington made the sweet decision to bring his 21-year-old daughter, Olivia, to the Golden Globes as his date last night, then spent the entire evening explaining to people that, no, she was not his 62-year-old wife, Pauletta.

"IT'S NOT MY WIFE, PAULETTA," he warned Ryan Seacrest, before the used car salesman to the stars had even finished greeting him.


"Denzel's wife looks bored," observed Twitter.

"An earlier version of the caption with this photo incorrectly identified Denzel Washington's daughter as his wife," apologized The New York Times, "and misspelled Mr. Washington's surname." (How? Washingtonn? Ouashington?)

Luckily, Olivia seemed to take it in stride, giggling good naturedly as her father explained to Ryan Seacrest that she was not a person he had ever had sex with.


Just classic dad stuff.

I'm Asian, much younger than my adopted white old dad and people think we are a couple all the time~

I play it up and call him darling. It cracks us up.

When I visited Washington with my family back in 2008 I wasn't charged for breakfast because I counted as a kid. I was 20 then.

I get Darryl Stephens (from the gay series 'noah's arc' but I've only slightly seen it in one pic , and don't really get it. And Kevin Garnett , roscoe dash and jeremiah ...none of whom look alie and I'm sure its be due to me being black with a Mohawk, but people are dumb. Btw ...Damn she does NOT look 21. I hope she just stays like this and doesn't age lol

My ex and I were mistaken for a lesbian couple in a bar when he had long-ish hair. We were macking on or something and a drunk guy came over and went, "Whoo, go girls...hey, you're a guy!! Cut your hair, man!"

la_nostalgia 15th-Jan-2013 12:00 pm (UTC)
Seriously, she could be 25 in that photo, she could be 50, I have no idea.

lol how awkward, thankfully that has never happened to me

but I'm more and more convinced I look like someone because especially when I go abroad people stare at me or even take photos, negl that makes me feel like I have a constant toilet paper tail hanging from my pants or something because I really don't get it, I look like a fairly normal person.

loveumbrella 15th-Jan-2013 01:40 pm (UTC)

Depends where you went and if you have one distinctive feature...

Like, when I was in Colombia I stood out in this one community bc Im like 5'6 (where most people topped off at 5'3) and have brown hair and green eyes, while most have brown eyes. Everyone stared and people were like oh, pictures!

Here, no one looks twice
howlcosmiclove 15th-Jan-2013 12:44 pm (UTC)
lmao awkward
She really does look like her ma though.
