Denzel: Be Nice Kids

Denzel Washington’s been handing out word of wisdom to his four children – be nice.

He’s told a US TV show: "I try to teach my children there are going to be obstacles."

"Someone may not like you just because they don't like themselves. But, don't you get bogged down."

The 53-year-old – who had kids between the ages of 16 and 23-years-old - added "Don't be a hater. Don't let hatred destroy you. Overcome it, move on, educate them, if you will."

"My father was a minister in the Church of God and Christ. There was talk of this other guy, Malcolm X, that was not allowed to somehow be talked about. And of course, there was Martin Luther King."
