Antonio Banderas reveals Philadelphia deleted scene.
Deleted Deleted Scene – Do I Know How I Know You're Gay? (2007) – Judd Apatow Movie HD
Antonio Banderas and Tom Hanks, two of Hollywood's most prolific actors, playing a gay couple in a film that not only addressed homophobia but also HIV/AIDS was certainly not in the cards in 1993. But it was. Philadelphia received incredibly positive critical and audience response and quickly became one of the highest-grossing films of its time, despite being Banderas and Hanks' most controversial film of their careers.
While Hanks later seemed to have a different take on the film, Banderas at the time was in awe of how the film changed things. He even revealed a deleted scene from the film that never made it into the final film.
A legal drama dealing with homophobia and the misconceptions about HIV/AIDS, Antonio Banderas and Tom Hanks' Philadelphia was a crucial film made at the right time. Released to largely positive critical and commercial success, the film's appeal and status were boosted when the film won two Oscars: Best Actor for Tom Hanks and Best Original Song for Bruce Springsteen's hauntingly beautiful Streets of Philadelphia.
