Macrinus shared a same-sex smooch on screen in Ridley Scott's Gladiator 2, but Denzel Washington says it got cut

Gladiator 2 arrives in theaters this weekend, and if you were hoping to see Denzel Washington’s character kiss a man, well I’ve got bad news for you. While that scene was apparently filmed, it was cut because, according to Washington, the people in charged chickened out.

Denzel Washington has come clean about a scenethat didn't make the final cut in Gladiator II. Ahead of the movie's release in the U.S. on Friday, November 22, Washington — who stars as Roman powerbroker Macrinus — candidly confessed during a recent interview that there was scrapped footage of his character kissing a man.
