Denzel Washington is opening with Russell Crow in the new film AMERICAN GANGSTA. Surprisingly enough after the volatile Crow first met Denzel and spit on him, it's a wonder they ever worked together.
Russell Crowe as we all know is not a shy guy. The 'Gladiator' star recently revealed that he went to audition for a movie role opposite Denzel Washington 12 years ago, but things didn't really go as they were planned.
Here's how it went down on the 'Gangsta' set. "As I yelled my first lines, a big gob of spittle hit Denzel right on his lower lip," the Sun quoted her, as saying. The Aussie actor said that it was very nice of Denzel to ignore the saliva and continue with the scene. "I genuinely thought that he would shout 'Cut!' and stop everything because it can't have been very nice for him. But he didn't. We went on and we finished the scene," he said.
However, Crowe added that Denzel did give him a piece of his mind once the cameras stopped. "And when I'd said my last line and the cameras stopped, he turned to me and growled, 'There's nothing I like better on a Monday morning than to get a face-full of saliva,'" he said.
