Denzel Washington Julia Roberts kiss
In Hollywood, Denzel has a lot of power. When he works on a movie, his requests usually get approved. But there’s something interesting about his career. He doesn’t like to do kissing scenes with certain actresses.
This comes from something that happened more than 30 years ago. In 1989, Denzel was in a movie called “The Mighty Quinn.” He had a kissing scene with an actress named Mimi Rogers. But this scene caused trouble.
Some African-American women who watched the movie didn’t like seeing a white woman kiss a black man. Because of this, Denzel asked to remove the Denzel Washington Julia Roberts kissing scene from the movie. Later, in 1993, he acted in “The Pelican Brief” with Julia Roberts.
Again, there was a kissing scene, and again, Denzel wanted it gone. He said most of his fans were black women, and he didn’t want to upset them. So, this rule continued, and other kissing scenes were removed from his later films.
Denzel’s decision may seem unusual, but it’s noble. It shows he cares about his fans and wants them to be happy. Reminding us to think about how our actions can affect those who matter to us.
It also highlights that the movie industry still has a long way to go in accepting and celebrating different kinds of love on screen. We hope that changes in the future.
