'What pops into my head: security, food, a beautiful home. The difference between a house and a home, it's a big difference. You can buy a house, but that doesn't make it a home – and not to say a man can't make a home a home.

'But my wife has made our house a home, and raised [our] beautiful kids and protected them and sacrificed for them. She did the heavy-lifting.'

The Washingtons originally met on the 1977 set of NBC movie Wilma, and they renewed their vows in a 1995 ceremony officiated by anti-apartheid activist Desmond Tutu in South Africa.

The Tragedy of Macbeth actor and the Breaking actress are proud parents of 38-year-old son John David (actor), 34-year-old daughter Katia (producer), as well as 31-year-old twins Olivia (actress) and Malcolm (producer).
