‘Gladiator 2’ Cut Gay Kiss, Says Denzel Washington: ‘I Kissed a Guy Full on the Lips and I Guess They Weren’t Ready for That Yet’


Denzel Washington kissed a man on the lips while filming "Gladiator 2" but it wasn't including in the theatrical cut.

The Oscar winner stars in Ridley Scott’s film as Macrinus, a wealthy powerbroker in Rome who keeps a stable of gladiators for sport. The “Gladiator II” script mentions that Macrinus has been in relationships with other men in the past, which prompted Gaytey to ask Washington: “How gay is the Roman empire?” Washington has admitted in recent interviews that he is not sure how many acting jobs he’s got left before he retires, and therefore working with great directors is of the upmost importance for the remainder of his career.
