"what is russel crowe doing now" - Finally someone who understands that question and gives a proper answer

[@vsquar3d]

I think most other actors are on press tours and have been answering questions all day and want to get things over and done with. Russell is chilling and is doing it in his own time so he took his time with all the questions which is much appreciated.

[@kjexter]

@@vsquar3d Yeah you right. But still nice when you get a good answer.

[@Rattenhoofd]

Right? They all think they're so funny by saying "I'm breathing" or "I'm doing Wired autocomplete". Crowe does it too, but at least follows it up with a serious answer.

[@jaykapolka6111]

You're trying to tell me doing the wired autocomplete interview isn't the correct answer? 😆

[@ivangf]

There's one of this interviews where the actor, I don't remember who it was, says something like "Oh, I think they wanna know what project we're working now. Like if we're doing a movie or something" After that I didn't think of it as a stupid question. But at the same time, when you put it side by side with questions like "Is someone left handed? Is someone related to that other person?" and so on, it does look like a odd question.

Russell Crowe looks like he would give you a piece of candy and then disappear into thin air.
