10 INSANE Moments Cut From Recent Movies
5. Boq & Fiyero Get Shirtless - Wicked
Shortly after the release of Wicked, star Bowen Yang revealed that an absolutely outrageous scene was cut in which the characters of Boq (Ethan Slater) and Fiyero (Jonathan Bailey) rip their shirts off as part of a montage showing off the friendships of the central characters.
Yang ultimately put it best himself - "You were supposed to see Jonathan Bailey in his full shirtless glory, like flexing."
Yang also added that the gag would've seen Boq surprise the audience with Ethan Slater's "great body," but alas, it was all cut.
According to Yang, the scene was deleted because the film's runtime was already 160 minutes without it, but director Jon M. Chu revealed that it was actually cut for tonal reasons, because it didn't fit the vibe of the movie at that point.
Though Chu initially teased fans that the scene would show up on Wicked's home video release, that sadly didn't happen, leaving tens of millions of Wicked fans surely heartbroken.
