The 'Fences' actor got candid during a Reddit Ask Me Anything session and admitted that the "weirdest situation" he's ever found himself in, involved not being able to find a restroom in time.

He wrote: "In life? Probably had something to do with not being able to find a bathroom in time. We've all been there, you know what I'm talking about. Haha, oh man, and it's cold outside and that warmth starts...you know what I'm talking about."

Meanwhile, recently admitted he thinks the Academy Awards are "unfair".

The 61-year-old actor - who picked up the Best Actor prize in 2002 and Best Supporting Actor in 2990 and has had an additional four nominations - has "lived" through and experienced the lack of diversity at the Oscars firsthand.

Asked what he thinks about the criticism of the Oscars for not being diverse, he said: "I don't have to think about it, I've lived it.

"I've been the guy at the Oscars without my name being called. I've been the guy at the Oscars when my name is called. I've been the guy at the Oscars when everybody thought they were going to call my name and they didn't. So I've lived it."

The Oscars faced criticism after only white performers were nominated in the acting categories at the last two ceremonies, but Denzel insists the apparent inequality shouldn't be seen as an "excuse".

He added in an upcoming interview on '60 Minutes': "Yeah, and so what? You going to give up? If you're looking for an excuse, you'll find one. ... You can find it wherever you like. Can't live like that. Just do the best you can do."
