  1. “Having survived a concentration camp, Lustig was not taking any chances.” One of the dumbest things I’ve ever read.

    Also I want these stories to be true, only because it makes the making of GLADIATOR sound so awesome. If only O’Toole had been in it too.

  2. That is the real Crowe on Twitter and I’ve seen the Gawker piece. Man, this is all such old news. There are probably bits of truth, we’ve heard enough about what a f’ing mess it was to film Gladiator with no script. As these men have made more movies together (Scott 4, Lustig 2) I guess whatever grievances occurred on Gladiator, they’ve achieved a workable relationship. I tend to think the Lustig story is fiction or at least highly exaggerated.

  3. I don’t see the “Verified account” on his page that every celebrity has, so I’m gonna assume it’s not really him.

  4. Why do you say that? Yes, it is Crowe. Just because he hasn’t done the verification yet doesn’t mean it’s not him. Scott Grimes has confirmed it.

  5. Would be far too insane if it were fake. It’s all boring shit about taking his kids places. Only been on about a year, but best fake account ever: Steve Buscemi. Guy had people going for awhile.

  6. The real eye-opening Twitter-er is John Cusack. He comes off as a semi-literate psycho posting from a coked out bathroom stall, and mentions his movie “Max” about every fifth tweet.

    I added myself as a follower just to tell him “Hot Tub Time Machine” sucked almost as much as “Identity.”

  7. Quantrell, you forgot the weirdest part, which is that he didn’t even obviously identify himself as Cusack for like a year, going as ShockoZulu or some such.

  8. It’s not his official site. The woman who owns that website has run it for many years and over time they became friends.

  9. I hope for the sake of the verified Michael Chiklis who has been carrying on conversations with him that it’s really Russell Crowe, otherwise that’s just embarrassing.

  10. Not to be a cynical ass or anything, but at the end of the day, does it even matter if it’s actually Crowe’s Twitter account or not? For most people, I think the real — and probably only — revelation of this silly-ass program is to illuminate just how petty and inconsequential the vast majority of human thoughts are — be it celebrity or literal nobody.

    Actually, the accessibility of celebs via Internet networking might have made for a fresher centerpiece to the article about how the luster of movie stars has been fading in recent years, instead of just rehashing the same old stale points that been passed around the proverbial critical campfire for literally decades now.

  11. CHIKLIS: so russell, you’re probably wondering why I asked you here today…

    CHIKLIS (cont.): it turns out that me, michael chiklis, and you, russell crowe… are actually (drum roll) cousins!

    CROWE: you mean artistically?
