This is not to say that we wouldn’t be delighted if Denzel Washington did turn up in a Fast and Furious — we enjoy those movies, and we enjoy Denzel. But yes, of course he turned down a small role in Fast and Furious 7 (as Deadline reports halfway through this piece). Denzel Washington is too famous for the seventh installment of a car-racing franchise! Put Gosling in there; he can drive.
