'Holy S**': Josh Brolin Spills On Near-Fight With Denzel Washington On Set Of This '00s Film
HuffPost
Brolin said he now gets along "very well" with the "Gladiator II" star after nearly sparring with him.
Josh Brolin has opened up about a tense moment between him and Denzel Washington where the two “almost got into a fight” on the set of Ridley Scott’s 2007 movie “American Gangster.”
Brolin — in an interview with Graham Bensinger published on Wednesday — noted that the two “get along very well now” before recalling the near dust-up on a day when Washington showed up “a little late” to the set.
“There was a whole thing there and then he showed me the lines and he said — he didn’t change any of my lines but he kind of changed the structure of it. He said, ‘I think I’m going to put this down here and I’m going put that up there,’ but he wouldn’t really look at me,” Brolin explained.
Brolin added that he was trying to remember the structure and he didn’t have “that many lines” to memorize.
“And I’m supposed to be super confident. It’s Denzel Washington, man. It’s like not easy. You’re just this actor who they’re trying out, seeing if he’s the real thing or not,” said Brolin, who is currently on a media tour for his new memoir “From Under the Truck.”
