> ridley scott washingtons same-sex kiss wasnt the only one that was cut from the film. in a recent interview with entertainment weekly, fellow gladiator 2 star paul mescal shared that a forehead kiss between him and pedro pascal didnt make the cut either. the actor said he and pascal were rehearsing a fight scene when he had an idea of kissing his co-star on the forehead toward the end of their battle. i did it in one of the takes, and then were getting the radio messages back to ridley [in video village], and i was like, ridley: kiss on the forehead, did you like it? yay or nay? there was radio silence for a second, mescal said. his radio crackles back, and [ridley] goes, im afraid i did.  i think ridleys one of the funniest men ive ever come across, he added, before confirming that kiss was eventually scrapped.
