Bro, I need somebody to do a quick check-in on my boy Denzel, cuz it seems he wasn't having the best Monday out there in Cannes, France, for the premiere of his new film, Highest 2 Lowest.

At one point, Denzel got into a bit of an altercation with a photographer and seemed to break character, or snap into character depending on which movie we're talking about here.

Watch:

"Never put your hands on me ... stop it, stop it, stop it."

Denzel's just trying to enjoy some time with co-star A$AP Rocky and the film's director, Spike Lee, and this man thought he could put hands on him?

People had thoughts:

Maybe give Denzel some space 😂
