'Holy S**t': Josh Brolin Spills On Near-Fight With Denzel Washington On Set Of This '00s Film

LOADING ERROR LOADING 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 he and Washington “get along very well now” before recalling how the scuffle almost happened, which was on a day when Washington showed up “a little late” to the set. “I said, ‘What’s the line?’ and he hit my hand off, and he said, ‘Don’t ever fucking put your hand on me.’ And I was like, ‘Holy shit, I’m going to scrap with Denzel Washington. This is crazy,’” said Brolin, who played Detective Trupo in “American Gangster” alongside Washington’s drug kingpin Frank Lucas. “He said, ‘Go for it.’ It’s like he’d said what he needed to say,” Brolin said of Washington, who has since reunited with Scott on the filmmaker’s latest movie, “Gladiator II.” Brolin has previously credited “American Gangster,” Washington’s highest-grossing movie, for saving him when he was “totally broke.” The actor, in an appearance on the “Hawk vs. Wolf” podcast with Tony Hawk and Jason Ellis, recalled his lawyer calling him and urging him to check his email following the film’s release.
