Denzel Washington said actor who whipped him in ‘Glory’ ‘didn’t want to hit me’: ‘I said, Come on, do it’
“My focus stayed on Matthew, and I even remember him putting his head [down], I said, ‘Don’t put your head down,’” Washington shared. Broderick’s character was the one in the film to order the whipping. “You know, you want to whip me, bring it,” Washington added. “That’s what came to me, that’s what I played.”
