Director OLIVER STONE has cut the gay references from his ALEXANDER movie for the DVD version of the 2004 flop.
Stone claimed his Macedonian epic was unpopular with American audiences because of the subtle homosexual content.
He said, "They didn't even read the reviews in the South because the media was using the words: 'Alex is Gay'. As a result you can bet that they thought, 'We're not going to see a film about a military leader that has got something wrong with him.'"
In the DVD version, COLIN FARRELL's ALEXANDER THE GREAT character's relationship with HEPHAISTION - played by JARED LETO - will be portrayed as simply a friendship.
However fans of ROSARIO DAWSON will be pleased to know more angles of her character ROXANE's naked exposure will be included in the DVD.
