Josh Brolin shares how he almost got into fight with Denzel Washington

Recently, the actor who played the lead in “No Country for Old Men” shared an instance of high tension that took place during filming of “American Gangster” between himself and Denzel Washington.

In an interview with Graham Bensinger, Josh Brolin shared an instance from filming where his Detective Trupo character and Frank Lucas, played by Washington, were engaged in a conversation. He admitted that remembering his lines proved challenging because Washington altered them unexpectedly right before the scene was shot.

Brolin shared with Bensinger, “I was attempting to recall the layout, and then we practiced. There weren’t too many lines, primarily mine. I’m meant to portray unshakable confidence. I flubbed a line. I placed my hand on his (Denzel Washington’s) shoulder, and I asked, ‘What’s the next line?’ He swatted my hand away and growled, ‘Never touch me like that.’ I was taken aback, thinking, ‘I’m about to have a scuffle with Denzel Washington. This is unreal!’ In that moment, we weren’t actors anymore… at least in my mind.

Josh Brolin shared that Denzel Washington was fully immersed in his character Lucas during filming. He mentioned that following a scene, he sought out The Equalizer star to check if he was alright, but they didn’t discuss the moment specifically. Later, Brolin noted that he and Washington have a good friendship now, saying, “Denzel and I actually get along quite well these days.
