Russell Crowe Opens Up About Fame Following Gladiator | The Jonathan Ross Show 

He is so down to earth but also so complex and intelligent. I love Russell Crowe, one of my favourite actors.

I never get tired to watch Gladiator a significant movie ever

His performance in Gladiator was spectacular and Hans Zimmer elevated it into another realm.

I am an Australian ex-military serviceman. When the Water Diviner came out, Russell copped a LOT of Flack in Australia for it. But it was a brilliant take on a war Australia and New Zealand fall just short of celebrating. In one interview Russell absolutely nailed it. He said people forget that during the battle of Gallipoli, WE were the invaders. And he was dead right.

IMO Master and Commander is one of his best cinematic roles.

LA Confidential is one of the greatest films ever made. Everything about it - the cast, the script, the style, the story - is incredible. It's such an underrated gem.

What a self aware intelligent individual

Don’t let this distract you from the fact that this guy delivered a number of Oscar worthy performances such as Insider, Master and commander, LA Confidential, A beautiful mind

Gladiator...one of my favorite films....can watch it over and over again

The greatest performance for me that Russell did was the Insider. It's an astonishing thing to see him as the middle aged, very typical businessman, Jeffrey Wiegand who actually helped change the world and was one of the bravest people you could possible imagine. He was not overshadowed by Al Pacino in that movie, he was actually the best performer in it.

He looks so down to earth so without any attitude,yet he is such a versatile actor and puts everything in it! To me definitely awesome! Love him! Great sense of humor too which is great!❤❤

I've appreciated all his performances, but my favourite film was Master and Commander; there's something about those tall ships, the sea, and the men who sailed in them.

Crowe's most impressive role--from my perspective--was portraying Jeffrey Wigand. Yes, obviously, he's been bloody fantastic in just about every film he's been in, but "The Insider" just did not get enough attention. Not simply because of the subject material, but because of the lengths to which Crowe went in order to accurately "become" Wigand. Unbelievable work.

Absolute gentleman and true legend of ANZ 👏👏👏

I love everything, he does! I watch his movies, listen to his band Indoor Garden Party! Russell is a very creative storyteller. Plus, he's gorgeous!

One of the very few actors that I would enjoy having a few beers with......he seems fun!!

Not many can argue with Russells performance in Gladiator and the film itself was epic 🤩

So many layers to him...love love his voice ...snd ALWAYS Iinteresting to listen too!!! Ps aus loves him as much he loves aus and is considered a national tressure. ..

Great interview. I've lost track the number of times I've watched Gladiator. And he was great in A Beautiful Mind, too. Among my favorite actors.

The Insider - Russell at his most brilliant - his greatest performance and one of the best movies ever made - a must see if your have not seen it - i worked on another film with Russell - down to earth guy - we filmed at an amusement park all night - and in between set ups Russell would go on the Log flume amusement ride by himself over and over

Russell Crowe is a Aussie National Treasure 💯😁😊

One the best movies ever... Probably watched it 70+ times.

Crowe is a Legend.

Rrussel's impression or Ray deserves an award in itself

He’s looking like John Goodman with the weight and clothes… yet always a handsome man!

He is so mesmerizing....that's why he deserved an Oscar!!! And he so deserved more of them..... wonderful human being and actor!! ❤❤❤❤

Love his accent

That was very well said!

I never tire of russell crowe, he is the best, handsome, sexy, whole package, real man, l love him to bits❤❤❤

I love his earlier work. Amazing career. Can’t believe how much weight he’s picked up in the past 10 years. Hell of an actor. Russel in Gladiator and Kirk Douglas in Spartacus are two of my all time favorite films.

I love his movies!!! I also love his personality and dad bod Russell is sexy to me. He's what I need in real life, lol.😊

la conif and gladiator two 10/10 movies, not many achieve that

Maximus Decimus Meridius. Commander of the Felix Legions....

You make New Zealand proud Rusty!!

The next Three days - my most fav film

I live in Italy and every time I go into a coliseum, and to my girlfriends horror, I stand in the middle and I yell “are you not entertained?!!!”

Just watched Noah yesterday for the 1st time what a great movie 🎬

Romper stomper ,what an actor,

What about that Ray Winston impression, that was MEGA!

I like that man, so much ❤. Great actor; he's a beautiful beast of acting and he is certainly worth a place next to other amazing actors.

Why on earth the video is titled jodie foster 😂

Russell gave me Rome. I have a Classical Studies BA.

“Gladiator”, “L.A. Confidential” and “The Quick and the Dead” are three of the best movies, ever.

Theres one word RC made me understand through the interviews....... "Clarity".. I feel I understand it. Something to live by i'd say.

❤ Russell Crowe.

I recently saw the Cinderella man . He was amazing

R.C, Top Actor. 👏

Even with his fame, he's still a very underrated actor 🇦🇺🇭🇲

Best film ever made

I named my dog Maximus Decimus Meridius. Unbelievable film love to meet him

My Jack Aubrey 🥰 Still hoping for a Master & Commander sequel or series

Great show presenter!

Uploaded 7 days ago... me thinks recent... turns out its from 2014!

Why are they re-posting interview from eight years ago.....

The boys are 16 and 19 now. Haven’t seen Russel in a long time last time he was hiding behind a huge beard and had gained more weight. Liked him a lot. Happened to have seen the movie he was talking about, it was no commercial success but very interesting and sensitive. Another side of him that was great.

2015 😢😢😢

8yr old interview folks.. he's 59 now

Good for Russell Crow, getting out of Hollywood life and putting effort into a physical life with real people.

Cinderella Man, A Beautiful Mind too.

Wasn’t a Russel Crowe fan until American gangster

Preparing currently for king of the pies or where did all the pies go.

Best redemption, gladiator 😊

he could not be more sexier in this age WOOOFS

Remember, without soldiers the evil win

Jorel ❤

9 years old video but sill gold

He could play John Goodman in a biopic.

I love ray winstone.

Gladiators is just one of them classic movies you can pass the dvd down the family tree! Even tho its not 100% factual like braveheart was its still a good 1..Russell is one of the humble stars -no ego like most 🤝

Romper Stomper probably the best role TBH

I really liked The Water Deviner, good movie

War only proves a winner reasons there’s sides in war

😂😂😂😂😂 he is funny! Cool guy.

Lower Hutt Boy 🥰

3:10 to Yuma.

Very underrated actor actually.

🥰❤‍🔥

Wonder when this was taped?

Despite being not in the best of shape he is still a very charismatic personality. Looks like a genuine bloke

For the English here, South Sydney Rabbito's playing against St Helens is the equivalent of Premier League Liverpool playing against the Natinal League Chesterfield. Their is no comparison!!!

Strange I found this today after dinner at an RSL club last night. At 7pm every night at the club, regardless of what you're doing, you stand up, face west, and they play the oath. To me that daily repetition is bizarre but I absolutely agree with honoring them on an annual basis. Russel is 100% right about there being other ways. from the 800s to the 1600s, leaders would fight along side their men on the battlefield. Not commanders and typical military ranks, Kings. The people the very men were fighting for. You wont see that these days, so why should the rest of us be out there blowing ourselves to pieces because they cant shake hands. War is quite simply a crime against humanity. All war should cease immediately and all world leaders should negotiate on behalf of each other. Or simply all borders should remain as they are. That's it. Just Fucking stop. Imagine if all that trillions and trillions of dollars spent globally on military and defense went into bettering our lives instead. Stop fighting and start freeing.

He’s beefed up even more since this 2014

Once they put him in southpark I was aware

A beautiful mind > Gladiator

you know… you know… you know… 😊😊😊
