      Master and Commander, A Beautiful Mind, Hammers Over the Anvil, and lots more. He's promoting "Unhinged" at the end, but no amount of rationalizing will convince me that that movie isn't just a piece of garbage of the B-movie slasher variety. Bad career choice for such a great actor. Oh, I forgot to mention, he was amazing in "The Loudest Voice in the Room," but it should be a wakeup call to him that he's in the weight league now of Roger Ailes.

    The first time I saw Russell Crowe was in “The Quick and the Dead”. He spent most of the movie chained to a pillar in this old West town. He was totally unknown here in the U.S but Jesus, I couldn’t take my eyes off him. Saw “Romper Stomper” after that. I loved young Russell Crowe so much. And then (after “Gladiator”) he got old and doughy and had some bad report cards in the School of Being Civil to Other People and my love disappeared.
    This interview was great. I’ve never seen/heard Crowe speak so eloquently and with such love towards the people he’s made movies with. So - great interview , GQ or whoever made this happen.

Unique cultural and historical events emerge when 'stars align', and can never be truly repeated. Credit to Hanson for knowing that.

    Mr Crowe I doubt you’ll ever read this but if you do I can understand your politely minimizing yourself like you did at the end, but rest assured to me you A) could never bore me and B) have been the main or supporting actor in over half of my all time favorite films. Truly a once in a generation talent. Thank you for sharing your experiences on these films, the insight was fascinating. Can’t wait for your next performances!

    Gladiator was a fantastic movie. I've visited many ancient Roman sites all over Europe and always find it so fascinating that such an all-encompassing society existed and is still there is stones and bridges and amphitheatre dotted all over Europe, North Africa and the near East. We often travel their roads without even realising it in the UK.
