The 58-year-old '2 Guns' actor said he likes occupying himself with continuous acting work, reported Contactmusic.
"I didn't make any movies last year. It's not good for me to take a break. I need to stay busy. A man needs to get up in the morning, go to work, have something to do," Washington said.
The actor stars opposite Mark Wahlberg in the new action comedy and he said that they got on incredibly well.
"He's got a heart of gold. He's a sweetheart; he's a really good dude," he said.
