the book of denzed
He has lived a big life. Tough streets, close calls, a wife of forty-one years, four kids, fifty movies, two Oscars, three Equalizers...all by the grace of God. For the first time on the occasion of Gladiator II, one of the biggest films of his epic career, and his approaching seventieth birthday the man himself breaks it all down, in his own words, to the moments that mattered and the experiences that made him.
