Denzel Washington: 'Action scenes are fun'

Denzel Washington has revealed that he enjoyed filming his latest fight scenes.

The actor, who stars in the post-apocalyptic action movie The Book Of Eli, has claimed he had fun training for and filming physical scenes.

Speaking to Dark Horizons, the 55-year-old said: "It was a lot of fun, actually. Jeff Amata who is a disciple of Danny Inosanto is a contemporary of Bruce Lee.

"So I was training with some of the top, top guys. That was hard but it was a lot of fun just to stretch every day. I read the script. I know I win! Just to go down that road, that avenue was fun."

The Oscar winner also suggested that his movie isn't so "far-fetched".

Washington added: "I watched the film last night. It was the first time I've seen it finished though I've seen it numerous times. It stuck out to me that line I say about the Bible, that this is probably the reason the war started to begin with.

"The point being, it's not that far-fetched. Not that this is a cautionary tale, necessarily, but it's been going on for thousands of years. Hopefully, we're just entertainment."
