Former New York City Mayor Eric Adams recently revealed an intriguing wish: he’d love for Denzel Washington to play him in a potential biopic about his life. While he’s not itching to dive into Hollywood just yet, the former mayor’s quick enthusiasm for Washington speaks volumes. After all, who wouldn’t want a two-time Oscar winner representing their life’s story?
Since stepping away from public office, Adams is embracing life in the private sector, jetting around the globe and enjoying every minute away from the mayor’s chair. He even touched on his successor, Mayor Zohran Mamdani, suggesting that the new guy might be learning that idealism alone doesn’t solve real-world problems. It seems like life after politics is treating Adams well, and who knows? Maybe one day we’ll be watching Denzel crush it as him on the big screen!
