Denzel Washington says he’s ‘been around too long’ to worry about Oscar snub ‘Oh, I’m so upset,’ said the two-time Oscar winner, sarcastically.
Meanwhile, another man off camera is heard saying, “We even went back and looked at the film, there was never (a gay kiss).”.
The 70-year-old plays Macrinus in the film directed by Ridley Scott and starring Normal People actor Paul Mescal.
In 1990, he won Best Supporting Actor for his role in Glory, and won the award for Best Actor for his performance in Training Day in 2002.
After the comments created uproar, Washington appeared to dilute his earlier quotes saying that the kiss had in fact just been a “peck”.
