Washington seemed completely checked out as Lee and Rocky discussed some of their favorite film shots of all time, tapping on his phone as the other two geeked out about cinematography.<\/p>\n

Asked if he was fond of any specific scenes in Lee\u2019s flicks, the star of \u201cMalcolm X\u201d kept his eyes down on his device and said, \u201cI don\u2019t watch movies, man. I really don\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rocky doubled over laughing as Washington tried to explain himself.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m just being honest with you! I don\u2019t watch movies!\u201d he said. \u201cI don\u2019t go to the movies. I don\u2019t watch movies. \u2026 I\u2019m tired of movies. Yeah.\u201d<\/p>\n

When Lee wondered how many films the veteran actor had on his resume, he bluntly answered, \u201cToo many. I think 50!\u201d<\/p>\n

Washington underestimated himself. His IMDB credits<\/a> include 62 titles, if you count made-for-TV movies. He also had a 137-episode run on the 1980s medical drama \u201cSt. Elsewhere.\u201d He\u2019s also done voiceover work and a music video. <\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t do it for Oscars,\u201d he told entertainment reporter Jake Hamilton. \u201cI don\u2019t care about that kind of stuff. I\u2019ve been at this a long time, and there\u2019s times when I won and shouldn\u2019t have won, and then didn\u2019t win and should\u2019ve won. Man gives the award.
