RUSSELL Crowe has reportedly bitten the ear of his bodyguard Mark "Spud" Carroll during a drunken clash while filming his new boxing movie.

According to Britain's Daily Mirror, the fiery Australian star's "Mike Tyson" moment allegedly happened during a drinking session on the Toronto set of The Cinderella Man.

Crowe allegedly turned on Carroll, a former Australian Test rugby league player, when the bodyguard told him it was time he went home to his wife Danielle Spencer and son Charles.

"Something must have annoyed Russell," a source told the Mirror. "He and Spud are so close, almost like brothers. And like some siblings, they ended up having a huge row.

"Russell's a great guy but he didn't take too kindly to being told it was time to go home. He flipped. There was a scuffle then Russell bit Spud. It was incredible."

If any New Zealanders try and claim Russel Crowe is one of us, don't listen. He's an Australian.

 

[Alex]

I can't even remotely take Russell Crowe seriously thanks to South Park anymore.

 

[EarthStormFire]

He is a New Zealander he was born in New Zealand.

 

[DaCocoBrova]

I think he takes himself too seriously.

He needs to do a comedy to even things out...

 

[Phoenix]

He's got a bout of Tysonitus.

I'm really fucking tired of those news releases that are fucking made-up to create hype around a movie or an artist.

Recent Exemple: Paris hilton's kidnapping of her dog

Russell Crowe might be a bit of a looney but the motherfucker is the best actor the world has seen in a long time and that's a fact.

Lets see him do a comedy.

Jim Carey > Russel Crowe.

This is true.

 

[explodet]

Born in New Zealand in sixty-four
A hot-headed actor named Russell Crowe
He loves to act but he loves one thing more
Fightin' 'round the world!

He fights his directors and he fights his fans
It's a problem no one understands
If it's two things he loves it's fighting and
Fightin' 'round the world!

Makin' movies
Makin' music and
Fightin' 'round the wooooooorld!

 

[DaCocoBrova]

As an actor, he has shown no range.

Far from the 'best'.

 

[Tool]

As an actor, he has shown no range.

Far from the 'best'.

No range? You mean the characters in L.A. Confidential, The Insider and Master & Commander were the same guy?

Forgot about Beautiful Mind too.

 

[DaCocoBrova]

Can he make me laugh? All his roles are serious. When has he played a villain?

 

[karasu]

I don't think Crowe has much range either. His characters aren't all that different. They're usually strongt top of the food chain types, with the exception of A Beautiful Mind.

 

[XS+]

No range? You mean the characters in L.A. Confidential, The Insider and Master & Commander were the same guy?

Forgot about Beautiful Mind too.

I'm gonna say yes on this one. When I think of actors with range I think of Sean Penn, Jude Law, Ed Norton (I guess Charlize, but Monster is like her only serious performance)

Crowe's a good actor whose been in great movies but 'best in a long time' is too bold of a statement to leave unchallenged.

EDIT: That South Park parody was funny as hell.

 

[NLB2]

Russell Crowe might be a bit of a looney but the motherfucker is the best actor the world has seen in a long time and that's a fact.

Agreed. He played Jack Aubrey to perfection. Does anyone know if Weir is planning a sequel to Far Side of the World?

 

[NLB2]

When I think of actors with range I think of ... Ed Norton
EDIT: That South Park parody was funny as hell.

I'd love to see Edward Norton in a roll in which he didn't have to say "fuck" fifty times.

 

[XS+]

I'd love to see Edward Norton in a roll in which he didn't have to say "fuck" fifty times.

He's definitely played the 'cocky smartass' in one film too many.

Oh and I'll toss in Naomi Watts and Christian Bale as newer movie stars with more range than Crowe.
