Russell Crowe had a hilarious response to being asked about Ridley Scott’s upcoming sequel Gladiator 2. The actor played the lead role of Maximus Decimus Meridius in the original film, but won’t be reprising his role for (ahem) obvious reasons.
"They should be fucking paying me for the amount of questions I am asked about a film I am not even in," Crowe told journalists at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival (H/T Variety). "It has nothing to do with me. In that world, I am dead. Six feet under. But I do admit to a certain tinge of jealousy, because it reminds me of when I was younger and what it meant for me, in my life."
