During the interview Stone asked Putin if the latter considers the Russian ban on homosexual propaganda among minors a form of discrimination.
After Putin responded that there’s no discrimination against gays in Russia, Stone inquired what the president would do if he were aboard a submarine and had to share a shower room with a gay man.
"I’d rather not go into a shower room with him at all. I mean, why provoke him? You know that I’m a judo master, right?" the Russian president jokingly replied.
Oliver Stone’s interview with Vladimir Putin is scheduled to be aired on the Showtime channel on June 12-15.
