The Cinderella Man

[@barreldreamz7852]

How deeply admire his work and am truly grateful for the artistic displays he's put on TV but I truly found his stories absolutely abhorrent and lacking in humor and pace. It felt like he put too much emphasis on his importance in the story and not enough emphasis on whether or not the story is good period his jokes were horrible and he's got a relatively big head about his acting life. I'm not being hypocritical it's just how I perceived him. Still a pretty good listen and I love everything he's in

[@Bluesrock1815]

I saw footage of him from behind the scenes in gladiator the guy is a goofball, not serious laughin making fun etc but when the camera rolls fr he becomes the character. Great actor

[@Lana_Warwick]

Unlike others who use these kind of interviews as marketing potential, hoping to score another big role, Crowe (a Kiwi) is very laid back, not fussed either way, if it happens it happens, his enjoyed what his done, what he has, just enjoying life. Aussies Paul Hogan, Eric Bana, Guy Pearce, Sam Worthington, are similar interviews, if Rogan ever gets them. Heath Ledger would have been a good one, RIP. Others like Hemsworth, Jackman, Robbie, get awkward talking about themselves, ham it up too much to compensate.

I feel like I just witnessed 2 good men become friends. I was worried at first because although Russell was being interviewed, I didnt think he was going to come up for air. I think the boxing talk broke the rhythm and it became more give and take. Joe's genuine care for Crowe's well-being was touching. In the end both of them proved to be optimists even with the current climate. Their mutual feelings regarding fatherhood was also touching. I'm a 72 yr old woman and this just felt really good. Thank-you both.

[@HpNoTiZd]

I remember seeing Russell Crowe at a movie theatre in Sydney. I thought, 'Oh wow, my chance to meet him!' As I approached, I noticed he was with his young son, who seemed overwhelmed by the movie they were watching. When I was about five steps away, I immediately stopped and turned around. The excitement of meeting a legend quickly turned into the thought of him possibly being upset with me for interrupting a special moment between him and his son.

[@marinajudge]

Great interview. I cried at the story about Mr Crowe's trip to Italy with his Mother and family after his Father had passed and in an unexpected moment hearing the song "Danny Boy" which had been sung at the funeral. The Irish in me knows what a powerful moment that would have been. Divine intervention indeed. Thank you

I met Russell in Sydney on set of a TV series called Police Rescue in 1992. My first day on any set and as a Kiwi, the 2nd AD told me Russell was also a Kiwi, so I bowled up and had a chat with him. During filming of a tense scene I laughed as a fellow extra cracked a joke under his breath - "Cut! Cut! Cut!, the kid in the blue hat laughed"....I wanted the world to open up and engulf me...Russell came up later and couldn't stop laughing. Said it was the funniest thing he had seen for a long time! Our acting careers have diverged ever since! 🙂 Enjoyed this chat with Joe. Russell is a cool guy.
