Russell Crowe

So I'm playing Ramirez, which was the Sean Connery character.

Oh, wow.

So I'm excited by it.

I'm really looking forward to it.

But there I was turning up to the gym to do my katana sword and going to these meetings and everything.

But I was empty.

I was absolutely empty.

And it was just the point where I texted my agent and I said, you know what, I maybe need to talk to these guys because I'm not sure if I've – I don't have any juice here.

I don't know what I'm going to be bringing.

I'm sitting in these meetings and everybody's talking, but it's all just bouncing off my face.

I'm not really taking anything in.

And that same night I get a phone call around 10.30 and it's so unusual because I have everything turned off on my phone.

It never rings.

But for whatever reason, it did ring.

It was the director saying, look, I'm so sorry to tell you that Henry's injured himself.

He's ruptured his Achilles.

So we're going to have to push the film.

Now, I love Henry.

I've known him for a long time.

I've known him since he was a schoolboy.
