Ridley Scott Denies Denzel Washington's Same-Sex Kiss in 'Gladiator II'

Ridley Scott, director of Gladiator II, has denied Denzel Washington's claim that a same-sex kiss was cut from the film, calling it "bullshit." Washington, who plays a bisexual character, later downplayed the incident as a "peck" and not significant. The film's original cut was over an hour longer, with many scenes, including some of Connie Nielsen's, removed for length, not due to homophobia. Producer Michael Pruss described the kiss as a "non-event."
