A photo-seeking fan got way too comfortable with Denzel Washington at the Golden Globes on Sunday, and the actor wasn’t having it.

In a tidbit reported by People, the person asked Washington: “Denzel, can I take a picture?” and immediately posed with his arm around the “Fences” star.

“Did I say yes?” Washington snapped. “When you ask someone for a picture you wait for them to say yes.”

Whoever you are, overzealous fan, listen to The Equalizer.

Washington and his wife, actress Pauletta Washington, lent support to their son, “BlacKkKlansman” star John David Washington, who was up for Best Actor in a Drama.

He didn’t win, but Mom and Dad were proud just the same. Before the ceremony, his parents were spotted “psyching up” the actor for the red carpet and appeared “visibly excited for their talented 34-year-old son and walked behind him,” Entertainment Tonight wrote.
