“It was my idea, that kiss. I remember that we were at a hospital rehearsing, and we came to the scene where I am coming running just to see what happened to my lover. Finally we embraced, and it was missing something. I said to Tom, “Tom, we should kiss here.” He said, “What?” I said, “We should kiss.” Jonathan was there and he looked at both of us and then Tom said, “Absolutely. Yes. Absolutely. You’re right. What the fuck? Yeah. You are right.” So we did it. It was just a little kiss but it was important for Hollywood that we got that — that little sparkly moment where you see two people from the same sex kissing on the screen” — Antonio Banderas talks about the kiss with Tom Hanks for Philadelphia (1993), dir.
