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 kissed a man on the lips while filming "Gladiator 2" but it wasn't including in the theatrical cut.

Denzel Washington revealed in an interview with Gayety that a scene from Gladiator 2 in which he kisses another man was cut from the film. The publication's reporter, Caitlynn McDaniel, mentioned how Washington's character, Macrinus, references his previous relationships with men throughout the film, prompting the 69-year-old actor's confession.
