@oreally69 You can tell "what happened" in a boring way or you can tell what happened in an engaging way. He managed to do the latter. That's what makes a great storyteller.
@@timmckenzie-mcharg2227 I’m a bigger Denzel fan than I am of Russell. Denzel was certainly deserving of the Oscar he got. He now has the pair with the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for Glory. Now there’s a good movie!
Absolutely. Gladiator was an epic film, but not a huge acting stretch for Russell, yet he won an oscar - largely I think because of how good the movie was. But he was brilliant in "A beautiful mind" and would have really deserved the gong
@@russellcrowe7538 I think you meant what is my favorite movie out of all the Russell Crowe movies I've seen so far. So I can say that I've probably seen about 13 movies.
Russell's greatest performance and greatest film is THE INSIDER -- it is a tour de force -- in acting, directing, cinematography, editing, screenwriting -- absolutely brilliant -- if you have not seen it -- it is a must see film -- cinema at its best!
L.A. Confidential should be there. Actually, it should be higher... funny that Crowe talks about it, but none of the comments do. Everyone just focuses on Gladiator
@@nox5870 The fact is that most people who saw this video never even saw L.A. Confidential. Even when it's the better movie. Gladiator is the more famous one. You can see from the most watched parts on the video, that people didn't pay attention what Crowe said in the beginning. When he is clearly proud of that movie (and he should be), masses just ignore it. Rotten Tomatoes just recently chose L.A. Confidential as the best movie of all time, all genres. But it's too complex and intelligent for the average consumer. That's why Crowe said "It wasn't a big hit... but all the cool kids saw it"
Russell Crowe seems like he has a really cool personality. I have watched several of his interviews. Other actors however said he is very difficult to work with. I'm finding this hard to understand.
Perhaps he's a pefectionnist or something like that. Watch his actor's studio interview. He did said something about the way he works on set with directors. If he does the same with his co actors then I canunderstand why they think that way. But in the end he's a great actor who worked with the best directors and actors so may be it' s just a matter of perception
@Luke Harris: Well, it is almost 20 years since 'Gladiator' and Crowe is only six years younger here than Reed was (60) when it was filmed. That was Reed's final film appearance and ya gotta wonder how much longer he would have lived had Keith Moon not shown him "the way to insanity"?
I loved Russell in Gladiator, I still do. Yet it makes me sad that he has not taken care of himself, I know he loved food but I fear his drinking is aging him to fast. I pray for his health and I hope he takes care of himself.
I'm laughing about many of the commenters here. I'd say 99.9999% of you have never been who this man still is. Stand up in front of him and say your words. If he had a mind to you would find yourself knocked out unable to get up. His bones his muscles are still there and you have never ever been this man in your pitiful weak kneed lives. He is who he wants to be, can you say the same of yourself with your imagined unfulfilled desires? Mr. Crowe I salute you and honor your life. It is true, "what we do in life ... echoes in eternity" and you sir have had a life that fills the world's canyons with the sounds of your name. You are one in a million and worth every word that comes from your life's experiences. Have anything to say for yourselves, sheep?
Thank you very much for your lovely words, I really do appreciate it and yes I'm a nice guy.. Lol. Tell me what's your favorite movie of all my movies you have seen so far?
@@DiggerWhoops thank you very much, I'm glad I was able to impress you with the movie "a beautiful mind " . I always feel great and excited when I get positive reviews from my fans and admirers of my works. Where are you from?
@@DiggerWhoops lovely, I hope it's a fine weather over there today in Chicago? You probably know I'm working on a new project "pokerface", we will be done with production soon and I hope you enjoy it when you finally get to see it.
nosense people saying all that bullshit, its a great damn he´s in Rome and people from there calling Maximus! soo damn special and nice. Grats! italians.!
Se avesse solo risposto in italiano: "Romani, voi mi onorate! Io Massimo Decimo Meridio onoro voi romani e la città eterna di Roma!" Sarebbe stato un momento unico nella storia del cinema e nella personificazione del personaggio, che da attore mito sarebbe diventato legenda! If he had only answered in Italian: "Romans, you honor me! I Maximus Decimus Meridius honor you Romans and the eternal city of Rome!" It would have been a unique moment in the history of cinema and in the personification of the character, who from a mythical actor would become a legend!
About L.A. Confidential... "All the cool kids saw it"... damn right. Rotten Tomatoes just chose it as the best movie of all time. Too sophisticated for the masses
well in Italy they worship famous people, even well after they past it. They still go on about Sharon Stone and Joe Pesci, imagine Russell Crowe straight out of Gladiator, no chance to go unoticed. lol Next time you're in Rome Russell wear a wig and big shades. 😉
I just scrolled down and read all the comments. I could tell everyone they're right but then I'd just a fat person commenting on someone's weight on youtube and I'm probably not the only one. However, his wallet is fatter than mine will ever be. I also suck at acting and I don't think I've ever seen a bad Russell Crowe performance.
Russell Crowe is such a great storyteller!
It's like poetry. You don't edit Russell Crowe's poetry!
@oreally69 You can tell "what happened" in a boring way or you can tell what happened in an engaging way. He managed to do the latter. That's what makes a great storyteller.
@oreally69 Found the boring storyteller.
too right, good impersonations also
He so should’ve won the Oscar for his performance in A beautiful mind. Awesome job.
Totally robed .
Agreed, he was robed
Denzel was more convincing in Training day. Russell looked like he was play acting in a Beautiful Mind.

I'm 66 yes old and russel Crowe as the gladiator was by far the best film I've ever seen in my life. a brilliant portrayal of maximus.john uk.
l remember that saw gladiator with my dad, every time l see this film, l use to cry for my father R.I.P.
May he rip
I feel your pain
I saw Gladiator with my dad, and he passed away too. Every time I watch the film, it’s a special feeling.
Same here.
😔
He should've yelled _"Are You Not Entertained?!"_
Would have been epic 👏🏽😆
And one guy would have screamed "MAXIMUS....MAXIMUS THE TOURIST"
No - he should have said calmly with his newly bought watch held in his hand way up high:
STRENGTH AND HONOUR!
Twice
TOO GOOD😅
A real actor and person....humble and down to earth.
Listening to Russell, I felt that I was sitting at a table in my kitchen and having a cup of coffee with him. Russel is very nice. God bless him! 😊
@@russellcrowe7538 I think you meant what is my favorite movie out of all the Russell Crowe movies I've seen so far. So I can say that I've probably seen about 13 movies.
Crowe is obviousaly a down to earth bloke that's rare in Hollywood.
@@Mysterywhiteboy78 that's because he's not from America
Gladiator is one of the best movies ever made and russell crowe is one of the top 5 best working actors today
You're god damn right.
Really enjoy the movie. Can't count the times I've watched it. Still has it's stay power.
Of course
best working? You mean best eating.
Still my favourite movie, its completely timeless, definetely Ridley Scotts best film
Love his voice
Me too very love listening him, his voice very cool
Most iconic hero performance ever.
yup. I loved him in Gladiator, Tom Cruise in the Last Samurai, and Daniel Day Lewis in Last of the Mohicans.
What we eat in life echoes in eternity!
Purefoldnz LOL !!!
🤣🤣😁
jejejejejejejeje come on man...
More like ... echoes in the stomach..
Thank god gives the rest of us hope
Love him he is awesome, one of the greatest Actors ever
What a GREAT movie (Gladiator), IMO, a classic! One of our global treasures! Love you Russell
Thank for the compliment
L.A. Confidential is also a classic. And even more of a global treasure.
Russell's greatest performance and greatest film is THE INSIDER -- it is a tour de force -- in acting, directing, cinematography, editing, screenwriting -- absolutely brilliant -- if you have not seen it -- it is a must see film -- cinema at its best!
He is a total package
Good on ya mate. I'll be looking it up!
His Italian accent is dead on! :D
we dont talk like that XD
Io l ho trovato perfetto 😂
In what movie? He didnt have that accent in Gladiator
That ending always makes me cry and gladiator had the beat soundtrack
lolllllllllllll U GLADIATORE, YOU ARE GOIN ON LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL he just made my night with this line
Crowe is freaking hilarous. He should do more interviews =)
omri cabaza you easily pleased
STILL a great Line now.... Tale delivered perfectly by the great Gladiatore👌
He is the coolest actor ever.
Gladiator is an excellent movie! I am a Panamanian English teacher and I love the English dialogues in this movie. Also, the accent of Russell.
Gladiator is a Masterpiece!!! Period , It in Top 10 Films of all time in my opinion!
L.A. Confidential should be there. Actually, it should be higher... funny that Crowe talks about it, but none of the comments do. Everyone just focuses on Gladiator

Oliver Reed was the star of this film. Stole the show with his acting.
shadows and dust
John Goodman
He shouldve yelled 'Strength and Honor'. The crowd wouldve gone crazier 😂
This man this personality, my best favorite actor all the time,
True legend
I loved Russell in Gladiator, I still do. Yet it makes me sad that he has not taken care of himself, I know he loved food but I fear his drinking is aging him to fast. I pray for his health and I hope he takes care of himself.
and in addition: he made too many junk movies like nice guys. Real scrap!!
I think he’s getting back in shape for Thor
@@bodofrohlich3265 nice guys was above average
He’s enjoying life. Maybe you should eat more fibre.
@@garywagner2466 😄
Russel NAILED HIS NAME for ever❤
He looks like he's about to build a shed
That's why i like Russell, he doesn't pander down to what people think he should do/look like, he doesn't give a shit lol.
He looks like a shed morelike.
About every three months I get a really good laugh off a UA-cam comment. Thank you.

And then he fought them all.

Love ❤️ this story ,the joy movies 🎥 bring to people is awesome 😎
Love this story.
Russell Crowe, the only person to be a hero in Roman times and modern times
"You're going on." That's great.
Why is John Goodman talking about Gladiator?
Here really does look like a younger Goodman.

How hilarious is Russell Crowe's description of his recognition by the Roman pulicwhennhe went shopping there calling out'Maximus!Maximus!maximus!'
Gladiator................my favourite
He is HOT.
Still in a great shape gladiatore...
He's turning into Marlon Bando and Elvis.
Bet he could beat your ass. He still plays rugby like he's 25.
MadDanno a cuddly koala bear
😃perfect Interview
Oh please tell me there is a video of this! I would have loved to been there!
"You Gladiator, you are going on"
Russel: "Guys, i just bought a Watch"
Italia: "MAXIMUS, MAXIMUS, MAXIMUS"
Sei un grande simpaticone ..bonazzo e naturalmente un grande attore . Poi doppiato in italiano il Massimo .....
Hola
Crowe has went full dad mode
Russel Crowe had a dream about what being famous was going to be like. This is not it. THIS... IS ...NOT.... IT!!!!
Man how come no one has liked this comment in over a year? Well, if nothing else, I get that reference!
I can’t believe Jonathan Ross show got cancelled he actually did good interviews and loved his show
They preferred that Graham Norton over Ross. This g….boy
1:17 so Stallone was also there
Would like to know why we haven't received our prize winnings from PCH ?
"You! Il Gladiatore! YOU, are going on!"
Maximus Maximus !!!
He might not be....but he seems like a nice guy!

My second favourite actor after De Niro :)
You are whats going on....! Classic.
You just imagine the Italian cop sounded exactly like that
That's Maximus Decimus Meridius thankyou very much.
After this interview he went and ate a really big sandwhich

Harlock2day he said when it 1st came out not now
He looks like he ate a gladiator.
He looks cuddly.
I've put on a few pounds in the last 17 years too.
he put 60 pounds for the nice guys. hes done it before.
Hahahahahahaha STFO
He knows how to enjoy himself. He can afford to
bro could have just played the part and started the next revolution that night
Unpopular opinion: his best role is Sid 6.7
