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

Director Ridley Scott refutes Denzel Washington's statement that a same-sex kiss was removed from the film, asserting the scene was never filmed.

Denzel Washington initially claimed a same-sex kiss scene was cut from 'Gladiator II' due to the production being 'chicken.'
At the film's premiere, Ridley Scott firmly denied the kiss ever occurred, labeling the claim as 'bullshit.'
Washington later downplayed his comments, describing the kiss as merely a 'peck' and stating the situation was exaggerated.
Co-star Connie Nielsen supported Scott's stance, noting other scenes, including her own, were cut for time, not due to homophobia.
The film, set to release on November 22, has already received positive reviews and is anticipated to perform well at the box office.
