We are sure that many, no matter how much they love their job, at some point have thought about resigning. There are those who flatly dare and others who flatly only have the possibility in mind. Believe it or not, this also happens in dream places like Hollywood, and that is clear to us because Russell Crowe is seriously considering quitting acting.
It is no secret to anyone that this New Zealand actor has a huge career, as he has worked on hits like A Beautiful Mind, The Insider and of course Gladiatora role that earned him the Oscar for best actor in 2000. However, It seems that Russell Crowe is tired of the spotlight and the filming, which is why he is thinking of moving away from public life.
Believe it or not, Russell Crowe is considering the idea of retiring from acting
In accordance with Varietyduring a press conference at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival in the Czech Republic (where he was given an award for outstanding contribution to world cinema), Russell Crowe reflected on his future in the film industry when he turns 60 in 2024. And it was just at that moment that he commented that is considering the option of retiring from acting.
“You’re standing in front of the mirror and you’re like, ‘Who the hell is that?’ I am in that period now. I’ll take Ridley Scott as my role model: he’s still discovering new things in his work. Or I’ll stop and you’ll never hear from me again. I have not decided what it will be, these are two very valid choices.
As you can see, Russell Crowe is still not sure if he will retire from acting or continue to appear in front of the camerasHe would decide that depending on the projects that come his way. So don’t worry, for now and in the near future, we’ll still see it on the big screen.
Russell Crowe also spoke about the sequel to ‘Gladiator’
And since they had Russell Crowe in front of them, several journalists who launched themselves at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival took the opportunity to ask the actor about the sequel to Gladiatorand to the surprise of the vast majority, he made it very clear that he will not return to play Máximo in this Ridley Scott film.
“They should pay me for the number of questions they ask me about a movie I’m not even in.” Russell Crowe told reporters who questioned his involvement in this tape. As if this wasn’t enough, he also revealed that there’s no point in him coming back because in that universe, his character is dead.
“It has nothing to do with me. In that world, I am dead. Six feet below. But I admit to a certain tinge of jealousy, because it reminds me of when I was younger and what it meant to me, in my life.”
So as you will see, Russell Crowe will not retire from the film industry for the moment nor will he appear in the sequel to Gladiator. But at least it makes us happy to know that he will continue to give us spectacular performances, don’t you think? What do you think about it?
