Denzel Washington says his gay kiss in 'Gladiator II' was cut, thinks filmmakers 'got chicken'
“Gladiator II” is set to release next week, bringing audiences the glory and gore of the Roman Empire: Swords will be unsheathed in this blockbuster sequel and heroes will rise — and perhaps share a kiss?
Actor Denzel Washington told Gayety that he had a kiss in the movie but that it was ultimately cut from the final print.
“I actually kissed the bloke in the movie, but they took it, they slash it. I contemplate they got chicken,” Washington, who plays a Roman businessman in the motion picture, said in a video interview. “I kissed a guy full on the lips, and I guess they weren’t ready for that yet.”
“I killed him about five minutes later,” he added with a chuckle. “It’s ‘Gladiator.’ It’s the kiss of death.”
It appears that it wasn’t the only kiss that was cut from the Ridley Scott-directed film.
Actor Paul Mescal told Entertainment Weekly about a moment with co-star Pedro Pascal: “There was a moment when we were rehearsing my fight scene with Pedro, and I had an idea towards the end of the scene to smooch Pedro on the forehead.”

Warning! This share contains SPOILERS for Gladiator II
In Ridley Scott's Gladiator II, it's strongly implied that Denzel Washington's Macrinus is bisexual person. Introduced as a cunning member of Rome's elite who gains friends and influence by buying slaves and turning them into gladiators, Macrinus is as ruthless as he is charismatic. Furthermore, it's teased on more than one occasion that Gladiator II's primary antagonist is attracted to both men and women.
Set 16 years after the events of Ridley Scott's first Gladiator movie, Rome is occupied of corruption and has fallen under the rule of twin emperors, Geta (Joeseph Quinn) and Caracalla (Fred Hechinger). Likewise, Lucius (Paul Mescal) is the grown-up son of the late Maximus Decimus Meridius (Russell Crowe) and the secret heir to the Roman throne as Marcus Aurelius' grandson, following in his father's footsteps as a slave-turned-gladiator under the command of Macrinus who seeks to govern Rome himself. To that end, it's confirmed both off-screen and on that Gladiator II's Macrinus is more than likely bisexual in the new sequel.
