Russell Crowe

Russell Crowe is an Australian film actor and director of New York descent. Winner of the 2001 Academy Award. He gained fame for his films Gladiator, Train to Yuma, Mind Games. Despite a dizzying career in Hollywood, the actor remains a true patriot of his homeland and spends his free time on his own farm in Australia, where he breeds cows and horses.

Russell Crowe was born in Wellington, the capital of New York. Alex and Jocelyn Crowe are the parents of a future movie star. Russell also has an older brother, Terry. Four years after the birth of their youngest son, the family moved to the Australian city of Sydney.

This is where 5-year-old Russell first got to know the camera lenses. The boy participated in an episode of the television series "Spy Force", which produced the godmother.

In 1978, the family returned to New york, and his father, together with friends, opened the restaurant "Flying Pitcher." The company did not bring high incomes, so Russell drops out of school, and later moonlights to help the family.

For a long time the young man dreamed of becoming a rock star. As a teenager, Russell organized the group Russ Le Roc, in the name of which was the pseudonym of the future celebrity. The artist released his first single "I Just Want To Be Like Marlon Brando", which did not make him a star of the rock scene, but the guy became a recognizable musician at home. Concerts of his band, as a rule, took place in nightclubs.

In his youth, Crowe formed another successful band called Roman Antix, which was later transformed into 30 Odd Foot Of Grunts. The debut single was released in 1995 and was titled "The Photograph Kills EP". Among fans, the band became known by the acronym TOFOG.

Most of the songs performed by the guys are written by Crowe himself. These are songs in the style of quiet pop-rock. The band toured Australia, has performed in the UK and the US, and released 6 studio albums. The band did not find great fame, but participation in the musical ensemble highlighted the versatility of Russell's talent and creativity. The team lasted until 2005.

The first adult appearance on the screens of the young actor is considered the program "Rocky Horror Show." Russell starred in 415 episodes of the show. He was then remembered for his roles in the popular television series Neighbours, Living by the Law, Acropolis Today, Brides of Christ and the films Blood Oath, Proof and Efficiency Specialist.

Russell played his first major role in Crossroads. Crowe then took part in the filming of the Australian film "The Skinheads", in which the directors tried to tell about skinheads and neo-Nazis. As a result, the film was criticized by film critics, but the audience called it one of the most interesting in the career of the performer.

Hendo's role caught the attention of the famous actress Sharon Stone, who invited Russell Crowe to Hollywood. In 1995, the western "Fast and the Dead" was released, followed by the sci-fi action film "Virtuosity", and in 1997 - "Secrets of Los Angeles". This psychological film brought the artist the first Oscar nomination.

After such success on the actor fell an avalanche of proposals, but the following films can not be called successful. Only the 1999 film "The Man," starring the legendary Al Pacino, earned high marks. A year later, Russell made the whole world talk about himself again. The Australian starred in the colorful historical film "Gladiator". The actor plays the main role - the Roman commander Maximus, who is waiting for a difficult fate. The film was enthusiastically received by the audience, and the Australian received the long-awaited Oscar.

The historical film "Gladiator" was a turning point in the creative biography of Russell Crowe. In this film, the actor played General Maximus, commander of the Roman legions in Germany. The events take place in the era of Emperor Marcus Aurelius, who in 180 AD continues the war against the Germanic tribes. Maximus Decim Meridius commands a garrison near Windobona, trying to attack enemies in the north.

After a victorious battle, the death of the emperor and betrayal by his comrades, the general runs to his family in Italy. The warlord learns that the future Roman Emperor Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix), the son of Marcus Aurelius, killed his relatives living in the Italian province.

Then Maximus participates in gladiatorial battles. When Kommod received the news that his father's favorite commander was alive, he was furious. The emperor is trying by all means to eliminate the general, who is able to overthrow him in the name of truth and justice.

The film received a large number of awards and awards, and critics named the film one of the best, confidently recording in the "golden fund" of world cinema. In 2001, the work won 5 Academy Awards: best film, best actor, best costume design, best sound and best visual effects. The film was also awarded two Golden Globe Awards: best drama film, best music for the film.

The next film , a biographical picture of the Mind Games, which is about the intellectual mathematician John Forbes Nash, brought the actor the Golden Globe Award, the Screen Actors Guild Award, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts Award, and another Oscar nomination.

Crowe tries not to limit himself to one role. In Ridley Scott's melodramatic comedy "The Good Year", he starred. Russell's hero - London entrepreneur Max - falls in love with the owner of the French restaurant Fanny (Marion Cotillard).

Notable and interesting works in Crowe's filmography are the action movie "The Totality of Lies" 2008, the film adaptation of the legend "Robin Hood" in 2010, the adaptation of the book by Victor Hugo in the form of the musical "Les Miserables", the crime drama "City of Vice" 2013 and the epic film on the biblical plot "Noah".

Also in 2015, Russell embarked on another experiment. On the screens came military-drama film "Water Seeker" in which the actor not only plays the main role, but also tries himself in the role of the director. The film received three awards of the Australian Film Institute.

Comedy "Goodfellas" - one of the last works of the actor. In the film, Russell Crowe played with Ryan Gosling. Film critics and the public considered this star duo extremely successful. In 2017, the film "The Mummy" was released, in which the Australian played Dr. Henry Jekyll.

On set, Russell Crowe worked with Tom Cruise. In the American media there was information that between Hollywood celebrities there are constant conflicts, and the film crew and eyewitnesses confirmed this. The actress Annabelle Wallis, who is involved in the filming of the fantasy action movie, added fuel to the fire. On Instagram, the woman posted a photo in which two "moviemons" of our time look at each other very badly.

Social media users and viewers began to speculate about the causes of the possible conflict. Crowe is a close friend of Nicole Kidman. Since Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman broke up, the Australian has not only cut off contact with the American, but has openly shown contempt. Crowe, known for his directness, constantly in public makes it clear to Cruz that he has not forgiven and is not going to forgive actions against Nicole.

The Australian actor and George Clooney have a difficult relationship. Back in the early 2000s, the principled Crowe unflatteringly referred to the commercial preferences of his colleague and his frequent filming in advertising. In response, Russell heard criticism in the direction of his musical project. The Australian fended off the fact that his music is pouring out of his heart, while George thinks only about how more profitable to realize his talent. Since then, the artists stay away from each other and are in no hurry to go for reconciliation.

Russell Crowe has always had a reputation as a brutal heartthrob. It is known that even Sharon Stone and Jodie Foster, famous representatives of Hollywood, did not ignore the man. And Meg Ryan for the sake of an affair with Crowe, whom she met on the set of the film "Proof of Life", and did divorce her husband.

However, the actor entered into an official marriage once. In 2003, the Australian married Danielle Spencer, whom he had known since 1990. Young people together starred in the same film. Feelings flared between the artists, but Russell soon went to conquer Hollywood, while Danielle remained at home. The girl never wanted to leave Australia. At the time of the lovers' journeys parted. In the early 2000s, after a series of setbacks in his personal life, Crowe rekindital his relationship with Spencer.

The couple had two sons, Charles Spencer-Crowe and Tennyson Spencer-Crowe. As the artist later mentioned in an interview, the greatest achievement of his life, he considers the birth of heirs. The topic of fatherhood is important for the actor, he devotes a free minute to communication with his sons. Boys, unlike their father, a fan of golf, rugby and football, are interested in science and indifferent to the sport.

The family split in 2012. Rumor has it that the reason for the rift between the spouses were petty infidelities of the husband, but most reporters tend to believe that Spencer simply could not stand the busy work schedule of her husband. In 2012, Crowe was engaged in 5 Hollywood projects, so rarely visited at home. The children stayed with their mother in Sydney. In the Australian capital, Daniel is building a music career.

The final completion of the divorce proceedings took place in April 2018. To this event, the screen star timed the auction "The Art of Divorce." Crowe hammered with valuables that were acquired in a joint marriage to Spencer, including a collectible watch, a dinosaur skull, props from the movie "Gladiator".

Crowe owns a huge farm. The animals that live on it, the actor calls "my devoted friends." The business on the farm is run by Terry Crowe, the brother of the actor. The parents of a Hollywood celebrity live there all the time. While on the set, Russell dreams of only one thing - to quickly return to his favorite ranch. He can't think of himself without farming.

Crowe is far from hollywood ideals that force artists to race for eternal youth. But thanks to sports hobbies and physical work the artist keeps a great physical form. At 182 cm tall, it weighs no more than 92 kg.

In 2018, work on the drama "The Sert Personality" was completed, in which Russell Crowe played the title role. He is reincarnated as the father of the main character Jared (Lucas Hedges), who decided on a course of conversion therapy.
