I e talked with someone pretty well connected to Gladiator and they said working with Crowe was not fun. I’m honestly surprised when he gets a role.

“They should be fucking paying me for the amount of questions I am asked about a film I am not even in,” Crowe said. “It has nothing to do with me. In that world, I am dead. Six feet under. But I do admit to a certain tinge of jealousy, because it reminds me of when I was younger and what it meant for me, in my life.”
