Washington, 59, shared that he was involved in a physical fight due to racial profiling years ago, reported Ace Showbiz.
"The last real fight I had was in Boston. Back then, I was visiting my wife Pauletta Pearson who was having a show in the area. I came up to visit her and security tried to suggest that I was a pimp and she was a prostitute and I couldn't stay in the room," the actor recalled.
'The Equalizer' tells the story of a former black ops commando named Robert McCall who wants to live a quiet life.
The thriller also stars Chloe Moretz, Melissa Leo, Marton Csokas and Bill Pullman and is set to hit US theatres on September 26.
