Ryan Reynolds' Phone Mishap Upsets Denzel Washington on 'Safe House' Set: A Lesson in Professionalism
Ryan Reynolds shared a story about a time he upset Denzel Washington on the set of the movie "Safe House." During the filming of the final scene, Reynolds' phone rang, interrupting Washington's emotional performance.
The ringtone, Frank Sinatra's "Come Fly with Me," belonged to Reynolds, who pretended not to know whose phone it was when Washington asked. Reynolds then blamed the disturbance on the stuntmen around him, calling it "inexcusable."
Washington, known for addressing disrespectful incidents, did not hesitate to express his frustration. In a separate incident, he had a tense exchange with fans seeking autographs and photos outside a film benefit in New York City.
Despite the disruption on set, Reynolds and Washington continued filming the scene, with Washington agreeing to do another take. The incident highlights the importance of professionalism and respect on a movie set.
