Denzel Washington kissed a guy on the lips in “Gladiator II,” but the scene wasn’t shown in the movie

The story talks about Macrinus’s past relationships with men, and the 69-year-old actor plays him. But Washington thinks that the movie’s bosses “got chicken” about including the “kiss of death” scene in the final cut. 

During an interview, he said, “I kissed a man in the movie, but they cut it out. I think they got chicken.”

That guy wasn’t ready for it when I kissed him all the way around. 

“After about five minutes, I killed him.” Gladiator is the name. “That’s the kiss of death.”

Washington went to the movie’s world opening in London on Wednesday night with co-stars Paul Mescal and Pedro Pascal, as well as King Charles and a lot of other famous people. 

Charles drove his state-of-the-art Bentley limousine to the event and stood for pictures on the red carpet.

Before Friday, when the movie comes out, Washington recently told fans to get ready for a “ridiculously big” and “epic” movie.

His words to Variety were, “It’s huge!” Really, really big!”

He said, “Not good” when asked if his co-stars Mescal and Pascal are “good” in the movie. Good. Both of them. Paul did a great job following in his footsteps. This man is his own warrior. 

“All I had to do was this” (he drinks water with his little finger raised). That was my job. No need to say anything. Just spin the glass and tumbler around and hold whatever hand I had free. 

“And watch out that I don’t step on my dress.”
