Denzel Washington's fame as a superstar actor speaks for him in many ways than imaginable, and this is because he has honed his impeccable acting skills in a career span of over four decades and counting.

Another skill that the seasoned actor honed alongside showbiz was fatherhood. Washington, 66, is dad to four grown children, whom he shares with his wife and fellow actor Pauletta Washington.

The handsome patriarch started his own acting career in his sophomore year as a college student.

While Malcolm stays behind the scene as a director, his twin sister is a model and an actress. Their oldest sister, Katia, is also a film producer and has worked on movies like "Pieces of a Woman" and "Malcolm and Marie."

While Washington, who starred in "The Training Day," tried keeping up with his children and his thriving acting career, his wife was on stand-by taking on more parenting, and he does credit her for how well all four of their children turned out.

The "Fences" actor also played his part, making sure to keep it real with his kids. The star once noted that he started sharing his life mistakes and lessons with his eldest son when the youngster was only 14.
