Denzel wants to play sadomasochist

Denzel Washington has revealed that he is intrigued by sadomasochism.

London: Oscar-winning actor Denzel Washington says that he would like to play a character who has to bear physical and mental suffering due to his partner.The Hollywood star has revealed that he is intrigued by sadomasochism, but would rather play a character who likes it than be exposed to violent sexual acts himself.
"Oh, I`ve been very bad. Do you think you should punish me? I don`t know anything about sadomasochism, but there must be that aspect about it -- powerful people wanting to be humiliated. Maybe I get it out of playing someone who is humiliated, being reminded of what that is," said the actor. Meanwhile, the 54-year-old, who starred alongside John Travolta in the upcoming thriller "The Taking of Pelham 123", says he doesn`t think of himself as an actor despite working on dozens of Hollywood blockbusters. "I firmly believe I`m an investigative journalist, that`s what I do. I investigate characters. I don`t write it, just talk it. My journalism work, and even my history work, prepared me to dig deep, to look, to find, to contextualise," said Washington. IANS
