It’s not Den-Zell, it’s actually Den-zul.



it actually makes sense because you really be needing two L’s to get ELL sound.

Why didn't he correct anyone? Shoot I am guilty of this and I love this man. LOL Now I feel stupid. I mean at least I wasn't the only one.

I do prefer den-zell over den-zul though.

    Probably because it happened so frequently he just rolled with it. If your name is easy to mispronounce you can either try to correct the whole world which is never ending or let the world correct you. It's like Auxiliary in the USA we don't pronounce this correctly. We can either try to correct someone every time they say it incorrectly or we can just go along with ti being AUX-ZIL-LER-REE.

    That's wonderful!!! He has a truly solid black family unit. I was pissed off at that pink female anchor that tried to #MeToo him. That assless garbage juice face looking skank. She WILL get hers.

    This is why I respect this man. You never see him in headlines or doing the trash these people take part in. He is a strong family man who minds his own. You have to respect someone like that. And he is a damn fine actor. He perfected his craft.
