In 2001, Russell Crowe took Oscar in the nomination "Best Actor" for the role in the film "Gladiator". Recently, in an interview, a 56-year-old actor admitted that at that moment suffered from a sense of guilt, so he could not enjoy his starry hour. Crowe believes that "not deserved" of all those praises, which received along with the award, because "the film brought his director" - Ridley Scott.
After the role in the Gladiator, I received so much recognition and awards. And, obviously, brought me to a new level,
- started Russell. He remembered how he watched the "gladiator" when he was shown in the Roman Coliseum.
I watched the movie and thought: this is a film director. Why did I get all the attention if this reward was to get Ridley Scott?
- Shared Russell.
Earlier, in an interview with Jimmy Fallon, Crowe admitted that I first almost refused the role in the "Gladiator". He said that shooting in this film was a "unique experience" partly because "the original scenario was very bad."
He was just very bad. I read it and thought: "Okay, um ... yes,"
Said an actor. Despite this, Crow agreed to the role, after he talked with the director.
