John David Washington & Denzel Washington

Unlike many celeb kids, John David Washington did not seem keen on taking after his father’s choice of career at first. John played football at Morehouse College and went on to sign with the St. Louis Rams, playing for them for four years. Unfortunately, football didn’t quite make it for him and soon, John changed careers, choosing to act just like his father. That seemed to be a good investment for John whose best-known role is the HBO series Ballers. Whether John David can step up to his father Denzel Washington’s level is a question only time can tell, though he does seem to have inherited much of his father’s features and physique!
