3. Russell Crowe Loses His Temper on BBC Radio 4
“You’ve got dead ears, mate,” responded the Australian Russell Crowe to his interviewer’s suggestion that his performance as Robin Hood had flecks of an Irish accent. “I’m a little dumbfounded that you could find any Irish in the accent. That’s… ridiculous.” Ignoring the tension, the interviewer asked him later if he and the director Ridley Scott argued a lot on set. Crowe rambled a little but stayed cool. The interview then asked him about rumors that he didn’t want to say his famous line in Scott’s other movieGladiator, (“and I will have my vengeance in this life or the next”). Russell Crowe, by then invisibly pissed off, walked out of the recording booth to the sound of his publicist saying, “thank you.”
