'Holy S**': Josh Brolin Spills On Near-Fight With Denzel Washington On Set Of This '00s Film

LOADINGERROR LOADINGJosh 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.Advertisement “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.

In his mind, he was just doing his job.He was that guy.

He was Frank Lucas.Period.

But I didn’t know.”The two would eventually get past the heated moment and asked each other if they were OK before Brolin asked for his line again.“He said, ‘Go for it.’ It’s like he’d said what he needed to say,” Brolin said ...
