I got a song on a record in Canada that went gold. “”Billy Bragg, Sting, Elvis Costello – those guys say, ‘You’re a songwriter’. The New Zealand-born actor said his music is popular in Canada. In the interview to promote Robin Hood, which opens the Cannes Film Festival next week and reunites him with Gladiator director Ridley Scott, Crowe talked about his music career. “What did the tabloids estimate he’d had on the day he died? Something like 30 beers, eight or ten dark rums and half a bottle of whisky? In the end, he created such a weird energy around him that no one drinking with him cared.” He sat on a bar stool until he fell off it and carried on drinking… Lying in his own - and vomit, he continued to drink ’til he passed out.” “I have seen him walk down the street in Malta drunk as a lord and just hit anybody he got near to – even a man walking with his children. So I should… but we never had a pleasant conversation,” Crowe said. He has visited me in dreams and asked me to talk kindly of him. Reed died mid-way through filming in Malta after a mammoth drinking session. Crowe conceded that he gave the producer “a good single poke in the chest” but said he was suffering from jetlag at the time.Ĭrowe was scathing about one of Hollywood’s most notorious hellraisers, Oliver Reed, his co-star in Gladiator. His love of verse was evident in 2002, when he threatened a TV producer who cut his poetry recital from a Bafta broadcast. They’re lucky to get home with any blood in their system emotionally. But I have thrown some of the sharpest intellectual barbs in my life at guys who are chasing me down the street with a camera. “How many times have you read that I punch photographers? I have never punched a photographer. If I was a hard man, I wouldn’t be any good at my job,” Crowe told GQ magazine. I’m a guy who likes poetry, who writes songs. I know some hard men, mate, and I am not a hard man. “I am always described as ‘Hollywood Hard Man’. The actor, star of the forthcoming Robin Hood remake, prefers to fell his opponents with “intellectual barbs” rather than his fists. Russell Crowe says his hard man image is a myth, claiming he is a poetry-loving pacifist who wears make-up for a living and disapproved of hellraiser Oliver Reed. I put on make-up for a living.” Excellent! Mascara? Here’s more from the GQ interview, courtesy of The Telegraph: From the man who allegedly told a director, “I’m the greatest actor in the world and I can make even sh-t sound good” we get this lovely quote: “I know some hard men, mate, and I am not a hard man. But don’t go thinking that this will be a profile of one of the biggest, most hardcore actors around! Oh, no. “I’d ask, ‘Who is this?’ And he’d say, ‘Do not worry, Russell, just kidding, this is Michael.Russell Crowe is the cover boy for the June issue of GQ UK, all to promote Robin Hood. “He’d ring me and in a strong voice and say, ‘There is an emergency and you need to leave the building,’” he revealed. Rusty told a similar story during a 2013 interview with The Sun. “You’re supposed to grow out of doing that, right?”Īnd it sounds like he’s holding onto it. Wall there? Are there any Walls there? Then what’s holding the roof up? Ha ha.’ “For two or three f–king years, I never met him, shook his hand, but he found out the name I stayed in hotels under, so it didn’t matter where I was, he’d ring up, do this kind of thing, like you did when you were 10, you know,” he told The Guardian. The Aussie actor claims MJ started prank-calling him after he found out the fake name Russell used to check into hotels. Russell Crowe has revealed Michael Jackson repeatedly prank-called him with bad jokes for years - even though the pair had never formally met.
