'Gladiator II' Denzel's Gay Kiss Not Scripted ... Improvised Take Among Several Not Used
Denzel Washington threw some shade at the producers of "Gladiator II" when he talked about a gay kiss he had in the film that was cut, allegedly over cold feet ... but it seems there is more to the story, TMZ is told.
A production source tells us ... the moment in question happened, but it was not in the script -- and done during an improvised take of which there were many for the scene.
The kiss take -- and other improvised takes -- ended up on the cutting room floor as a story choice. No prejudice went into making the decision, we're told.
