Russell Crowe

Now you're going to meet people.

You know, hundreds of new people and, you know, all of the different things that you've got to answer in terms of your costume and your makeup and blah, blah, blah.

Am I wearing a fake nose?

Have I got scars?

What am I doing this time?

All of those things you've got to do very, very rapidly and get onto the set.

And they're not that sort of string of...

movies was not um they're not easy you know the first one was called the beast in me which uh is an mma movie i think we talked about that briefly it was going to be a ufc thing but we ended up doing a deal with one championship

So it's set in Australia and Thailand.

And it's doing some little private screenings in Los Angeles at the moment and getting a lot of really positive reactions.

The kid that's there, well, he's not a kid, but the lead role in that, Daniel McPherson, has done an extremely good job by the sounds of things.

I'm also attached to that.

I only play a very small role, but I rewrote it for them just before we started.

And I've done a lot of writing in my career, but it always goes uncredited.

But in this particular occasion, I think, I believe I'm going to get my first actual writing credit.

Oh, wow.

That's cool.

But I wrote the character that I play specifically to not be the character you think it's going to be.

to not be Burgess Meredith.

You think this guy is going to be, you know, the old coach who sort of like, you know, comes back out of retirement and everything.
