Denzel Washington made a rare red carpet appearance with almost his entire immediate family at the Toronto International Film Festival.
The 69-year-old hit the red carpet Tuesday with his wife Pauletta Pauletta, 73, their sons John David, 40, and Malcolm, 33, and their daughter Katia, 37.
They were all attending the premiere of Malcolm’s directorial debut The Piano Lesson, which also features John David in a major role.
Based on a 1987 stage piece by August Wilson, the movie was produced by Denzel, who has a long history of interpreting the playwright’s work.
Malcolm’s twin sister Olivia was the only member of the immediate family who was not pictured on the red carpet that day.

The play focuses on the lives of a black family in Pittsburgh in the waning days of the Great Depression – and a feud that erupts within the household.
At the center of the conflict is a piano covered in artistic carvings that were etched into it by the family patriarch’s grandfather, who was a slave.
Samuel L. Jackson plays the father in the movie, with John David as his son and Till actress Danielle Deadwyler as the daughter.
The daughter wants to keep the piano for sentimental reasons, while the son would prefer to sell it and buy the farmland where their family were once enslaved.
Denzel and Pauletta, who celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary last year, still looked the image of marital bliss on the red carpet.
Pauletta cut a glamorous figure in a powder pink trouser suit, adding an extra splash of glitz to the ensemble with strings of pearls.
Denzel flashed his signature radiant smile as he strode through the premiere in a stylish black suit, which he teamed with a matching t-shirt.
John David, who used to be a professional football player, draped his athletic physique in a black suit that emphasized his toned arms.
