A$AP Rocky<\/a> has been praised by Spike Lee for how he acted opposite Denzel Washington.<\/p>\nIn his first significant acting role, Rocky plays the son of Washington\u2019s character in Lee\u2019s newest movie Highest 2 Lowest.<\/p>\n
Speaking on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon<\/em>, Lee said: \u201cYeah, don\u2019t sleep on A$AP. In this film, Denzel and A$AP go toe-to-toe. What\u2019s interesting is, even before I got involved with this film, I always thought that A$AP looked like he could be Denzel\u2019s son. There\u2019s a big resemblance. So when you see it on the screen, it adds an element of father and son.\u201d<\/p>\nHe reiterated: \u201cDon\u2019t sleep on A$AP. I\u2019ve done five films with Denzel, and a lot of times when he\u2019s in a scene with somebody, they just get overwhelmed. He\u2019s one of the greatest living actors today, but A$AP wasn\u2019t having that. Toe-to-toe, I mean, they were going at it.\u201d<\/p>\n
