Probably. But those awards are not about being the best at acting or having to do with acting. Those awards, for the winners, are more about campaigning. How much money you can throw at the award and how much ass kissing you can do to get the award. Additionally, the so-called "red carpet" is nothing more than a living billboard. It is an ad(advertisement) runway, where the actors' bodies are the commercial space. This is how it has been during my entire 41(going on 42) years of life in this world. If you think, or thought, the awards shows are anything other than that, you are an ignorant and naive fool.
Crowe didn’t disappear. He got old and instead of killing himself to stay in shape and play the aged action star like Sly Stallone or Harrison Ford, he instead decided to let time work its natural process and now he plays stockier middle-aged blokes in mid-budget dramas. He’s very much still around. He also seems a lot mellower and happier in interviews now than he did 20 years ago fwiw.
Sly Stallone will probably live longer than you or I, as will Arnie... but hell Harrison Ford doesn't do ANYTHING and is just a slim old man. same with Bruce Willis. not sure why you wanted to compare Rocky+Rambo with Han Solo+Indiana Jones...
@@andrewcutler1380 I know the point of your comment was about Russel Crowe, but I'm going to do a 180 again back to Harrison Ford... when they made Kingdom of the Crystal Skull he fit perfectly into the same costume from The Last Crusade. Probably slimmer, but same costume. Google it. I was simply pointing out that actors are just human beings. some stay the same... some don't. Russel Crowe did some body weight transformations... and is now comfortable where he is. that's cool.
Harrison Ford hasn't done anything credible since the 2000s, nowadays he only work for a paycheck. (with the only exception of Blade Runner 2049, that was the best work he did in years)
Greatest achievement is still donating the proceeds of his divorce auction to get a koala chlamydia hospital named after John Oliver. Game, set, match.
My dad used to work in the Naval Base in Portsmouth England, he used to show people around the HMS Victory historic warship, Russel Crow was one of the tourists he showed round this was just after Russell had starred in Master And Commander , app he was a lovely attentive bloke who was really down to earth , left a big tip and offered to buy my father a beer, totally top bloke app..
I became a Russell Crowe fan wayyyyy back -- The Proof, The Crossing, and later, The Quick and the Dead, Virtuosity, and LA Confidential (I may be the only person who did't like the movie) but he always drew me in. (Not to mention Thirty Odd Foot of Grunt.) Mystery, Alaska came out, and was good - but then, in the same year, The Insider was released, and Gladiator a year later. A star was born. The Insider is probably my favorite RC movie. The story, the acting, the direction, the soundtrack (Lisa Gerrard and Pieter Bourke) was so gorgeous and heart-wrenching - it brought so much passion to the film, just as Hans Zimmer (and Lisa Gerrard again) brought such beauty and intensity to Gladiator. A Beautiful Mind, of course, was his Oscar winning role. Now, here we are, nearly 20 years later. He's no longer a "leading man," but he's a good actor and keeps quite busy with roles coming out. So, NOTHING happened to Russell Crowe, thank you very much. 😊
Yes we just watched him in Road Rage ,He was in the truck threateningly ,he was unrecognizable, l thought right away he looked and sounded like John Goodman ,He can’t play the romantic love interest as he looks now ,sorry !,! No mention of R C putting loads of weight on ,
Master and Commander is one of my absolute favorite movies , its a bit compressed but also a bit too long but the feel of the sea and the life of the explorers is amazing
Like Gladiator, it isn't historically accurate, but it's historically authentic. The events may not have happened, but it does a really good job capturing the experience of the era.
the worst is when people live stream suicide. some worthless soul did this on twitch recently. blew his brains out on stream. hopefully, he didn't traumatize any young kids
@@tnmrvc I agree for both a Russel Crowe and Denzel Washington movie. I know its not a popular opinion, but if it were to get the remake or years after sequel like Blade Runner, I would probably be willing to give it a pass if setup properly with the right people behind it.
Gladiator one of my favorite films. L.A confidential is also really good. Love the Russell Crowe fightin round the world South Park episode lol and unhinged is a nice comeback for him if he stays with big screen
His peak was in my opinion from 1997-2008, around that time. Gladiator & A Beautiful Mind are obviously really great performances, but i loved him in Body of Lies... he played that douche-CIA guy so good.
I didn't know people had a problem with the title "Cinderella Man". It's historically accurate. Damon Runyon gave the real James Braddock that name in an article back then
It wasn’ t a problem. This guy and writer of this script is an idiot . I won’t be watching anymore. I watched this for Russell not for the guy who does this program. Russell is rightfully considered one of the most talented actors of Hollywood historically and today.

After Noah but before The Nice Guys, he also starred in and directed a pretty decent film about the aftermath of the Battle of Gallipoli called The Water Diviner (2014).
One movie you forgot to list "Proof of Life" in 2000 with Meg Ryan. I believe this is when they met and started dating. Oh yeah, future WTF happened to Meg Ryan? Also State of Play in 2009 with Ben Affleck.
@@baronvg That was a surprise to me Proof of Life was not there. There was a death on the set and also the affair that affected Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan's marriage soon after the movie was done. Yeah, that should of had some kind of bookmark in the 2000s. That is when Russel Crowe's stock went up after Gladiator.
Robin Hood (2010) is a lot like Kingdom of Heaven. The Theatrical Version is okay but the Director's Cut is wonderful and worth more than one watch. Recommended!
Man I think he still around. He won a golden globe this year for a brilliant performance in a tv series and only 4 years ago he did that hilarious the nice guys, i wait for a sequel. And also he had that new movie coming out. He didn’t disappeared. He only got a bit old and a bit fat like many actors. But he still a great actor. But anyway....great video I am still waiting for WTF HAPPENED TO MICKEY ROURKE or STEVEN SEAGAL
Yeah! For some reason I always thought it wasn't that good, so I always avoided it. Then decided to watch it only the other day on Netflix, and I was blown away! haha
Did you know, Russel Crowe was Nominated for a Golden Raspberry Award For Worst Supporting Actor For The Mummy, but he lost to Mel Gibson in Daddy's Home 2
I was explaining this to my GF last night oddly enough. Basically, Crowe retired before chancing a wash out of bad movies and Hollywood responded by inventing Gerard Butler.
Romper stomper is an absolute classic and critics don't seem to understand the difference between fiction and reality. Also you didn't mention another of his Aussie movie roles in The Sum of Us.
Crowe IS Australian. Ask the man himself, even he will tell you he identifies himself as such!! He calls himself Australian in most, if not all, his interviews and Lives in Australia.
@@TMan-77 He was born in New Zealand though.His cousins even played Cricket for the New Zealand national cricket team Martin Crowe and Jeff Crowe.His wife is also new Zealander.
F@rkin Oath MATE! Look up Russ Le Roq on the Auckland Punk Music Album AK79!!!! PHOTO INCLUDED! Martin and Jeff CROWE are CRICKETERS, and RUSSELL is their cuzzy Bro!
A Good Year is a remarkable film from 2005 with Russell Crowe in the south of France with an adaptation of the Peter Mayle book , A Good Year, unbelievable cast , fantastic location...and great music from his band the Ordinary Fear of God..check it out
I met Russel in a hotel in Nottingham must have been around 2009 when they were filming the Ridley Scott Robin Hood he was honestly a nice bloke he was just sitting at the hotel bar with another guy possibly his agent but I chatted with him for a few minutes while I was waiting to be served I offered to by him a beer which he declined but when he left he had a beer sent over to my table which was cool
My Favorite Russell Crowe Films Gladiator, Master & Commander, Body Of Lies, Robin Hood 2010, 3:10 to Yuma Remake, Virtuosity, American Gangster, Mystery Alaska, Proof Of Life, Heaven’s Burning, Cinderella Man, Noah, Next 3 Days, No Way Back, Broken City, & Mummy 2017
First off, I love your videos bro. Keep up the great work. But I've seen you put more info into lesser stars over the years and this one seems kind of rushed. You skipped a few notable films Russell Crowe was in, including his directing debut THE WATER DIVINNER, you skipped Proof of Life (with Meg Ryan) and The Last 3 Days ( with Elizabeth Banks) and many more.
While Crowe is certainly a character worthy of discussion it’s a bit of an injustice to have him in this series imo. Yeah that movie he just had come out seems a little bit of an odd choice for him but it’s not like he’s been making utter garbage for years or not been seen. EDIT: ok I left this comment before watching til the end. egg on my face I guess!
He's still a damn great actor. Nice Guys was excellent. And despite how awful a movie it was, he was the sole thing keeping me watching Unhinged. He generally does this in mediocre movies like Broken City. You buy him as a sleazeball NY'er. I'll also echo sentiments about The Next Three Days. Super overlooked great film. I also enjoyed State of Play.
Most recent update I saw from Russell Crowe was a tweet of kookaburras outside his window at his home in Northern New South Wales. I think he’s gone to the birds!!
Robin Hood is one of those movies that got little respect but was actually a pretty good movie. Russell Crowe is such a good actor and has done a lot of good movies. My top Crowe movies: Gladiator 3:10 to Yuma Cinderella Man American Gangster Robin Hood Man of Steele Quick and the Dead
Hello, thank you so much for being such a big fan. I take the time to appreciate some of my fans here and you are one of the lucky ones. Hope you get through this pandemic season for sure. Thank you with so much love from me Russell Crowe I am grateful, thank you for the support. If you want to keep in touch with me, you can also write to me directly at my email russellcrowefan1964@gmail.com ❤️
Mr. Blo, I am, like, a hundred years old but, you sir, keep me laughing like a baby. You're repartee with the movie-thing is amazing. Please don't go away!
I never saw Robin Hood because I already saw Men In Tights, which is all you need to see. I did like the Noah movie. Jennifer Connely. Am I right guys 😍
The whole "He didn't win the Oscar because of his antics" thing is a myth. There are many factors to consider when analyzing award results. Also, are you seriously going to tell me that Denzel didn't deserve it?
I think they got it wrong giving it to him for gladiator instead of a beautiful mind, and Denzel deserved it for the hurricane instead of training day. If they weren't competing against each for those years it'd be 2 each but they both got awards for the lesser movie each
@@brockgrunow9280 Well, it's not like voters think "This actor's performance in this movie is better than his performance in that older movie;" they think "This actor's performance in this movie is better than the other nominees' performances."
Ah dude you're funny! I really enjoyed this video! I like it, and I like Russel Crow! I don't think I've seen him in one movie where I didn't enjoy his performance! Oh and I'm a tad disappointed you left out The Next Three Days! I loved him in that! Such a gripping movie!
Typical 21st-Century Hollywood.. Hollywood: “would you like us to advance your career?“ Russell Crowe: “of course!“ Hollywood: “You must star in a movie called ‘Cinderella Man’” 🏳️🌈
