Russell Crowe reveals how he really feels about new 'Gladiator' movie
A "Gladiator" sequel is in the works without Russell Crowe, and the actor admitted he’s "slightly jealous." In an interview with Collider promoting his new movie, "The Pope’s Exorcist," Crowe said, "Look, the only thing that I really feel about it is slightly jealous, you know? Because I was a much younger man, obviously, and it was a huge experience in my life." He continued, "It's something that changed my life, really. It changed the way people regarded me and what I do for a living, and, you know, I've been very lucky to be involved in lots of big movies, but the legs on that film are incredible." "Gladiator" earned 12 Oscar nominations, and took home a total of five, including best picture, and best actor for Crowe. "You don't always get that kind of longevity with every film you do, so, it obviously holds a special place in my heart," the 59-year-old said.
