Russell Crowe Answers Your Questions | Actually Me

by Panzer
- Okay, so. "GQ: Actually Me." Russell Crowe.
That's my name.
Today I'm going undercover.
It's actually me.
[keyboard tapping]
Let's check X.
Good day Russell Crow.
Back in days when you worked on stage, you did Grease.
What character did you play?
In the theater musical, there's a character called Roger
who keeps showing his ass or mooning.
He sings a song called "Mooning Over You."
But that character didn't survive it to the feature film.
"The Insider" and "Gladiator"
came out a year from each other.
How did Russell Crowe get so ripped?
In "The Insider," I'm not as big as it looks like I am.
I'm actually doing stuff with my body
and the way I chose my clothes
to make the character look older.
This is 1998, "The Insider."
"Gladiator" was 1999.
Basically from the moment that I came off the set
of "The Insider",
I started working on, getting ready for "Gladiator."
How did Russell Crowe not laugh
when Ryan Gosling did that shriek in "The Nice Guys?"
[Ryan shrieking]
You mind if I have an apple? I did fuckin' laugh.
Ryan Gosling is one of the funniest people I've ever met
in my life.
Working with him is kind of torturous.
I'm known for being able to just stay in character
no matter what's going on.
But for whatever reason,
Ryan tickles my fancy
and he can make me laugh at the drop of a hat.
Do people talk enough about
how incredibly talented Russell Crowe is with accents?
