Russell Crowe

it's like a given that whatever it says is going to be the opposite for it.

Whatever the most comfortable way of shooting that scene might be, there'll be something that makes it uncomfortable.

But, you know, I mean, in terms of discomfort on film sets, you know, physical discomfort when you're doing...

Fight sequences or things like that, because they can sometimes take a long, long time.

I shredded both my hamstrings while I was doing Noah.

I flew back to Australia to watch a football game, actually.

My football team that I bought in 2006 had finally made a preliminary final after many years of trying.

And I wanted to be there to witness it.

We ended up losing the game, so it was a waste of money.

But I flew back to Australia, and it was also coincided with my youngest athletic day at school.

And I was doing Noah.

I was fit as a bull, strong as an ox, absolutely.

So I rock up to the little athletics day, you know.

And they asked me if I would step in and do this, you know, little running race, you know, thing.

So I said, yeah, cool, you know.

So one of my son's friends was in the race and he was coming last.

So I ran up behind him and I was talking to him about going fast or whatever.

But I had to really sprint to catch up to him because I was a long way back.

And I hadn't really noticed that all the kids, because I was up behind him, had got really excited and they'd jumped up and they were all standing on the finish line.

And so I sort of got up behind him and I let him just pass me so he could win.
