Hey, I'd still hit it.

But I'm a huge slut.

He's aging like Jim Morrison. Such a shame to see the beautiful ones slide like this.

what happened Russell, have another bad phone call?

@Trashtastic: Ew. He'd be so grunty and sweaty and you know he doesn't care if you get off.

@Trashtastic: Looks like he'd still hit it, too.

You should see the other guy.

@Trashtastic: Seriously? No, seriously. Like, seriously?!? Why, because he's famous? To me he looks like a dude who just got kicked out of the shittiest bar in the shitty part of Trenton after he punched someone and drooled all over someone else. He's revolting.

Urgh ... I'm so puzzled by the Russell Crowe thing. As far as I know, no one in Australia (his home land) finds him attractive - he looks like every second yob we know.

@Trashtastic: Me too. Annnd me too. High five!

I'm going to just hang on to my Gladiator memories.

What was that movie where he was the Aussie pilot in the midst of training in Canada during WWII and he falls in love with a married woman whose husband is away already fighting the war?

Aw, he used to be so dreamy.

the sad part is you can't tell if it's for a role or just russ getting all ruffled up again.

@J.D.regent: Or both.

@STICKSnSCONES: Master and Commander was pretty good too. And A Beautiful Mind. He has done some class work -- and some dogs like A Good Year.

I tried watching 3:10 to Yuma last night. Fell asleep.

Hello, Brotha!

@Trashtastic: I am so with you there...tie him up, give him a gag ball...good to go.

@littlebunnyfoofoo: Oooh! Just IMDB'ed it. "For the Moment." I saw it on cable right after my daughter was born and I was breast feeding and crying and sitting on ice packs and it totally took my mind off myself for two hours. I cherish my first memory of R.C. as I'd never heard of him before.

He hotted and sexy'ed my postpartum blues away.
Now that's talent.

@J.D.regent: yeah you can - i see camera dolly and grip truck

Russell Crowe has hot moments. This is not one of them.

@littlebunnyfoofoo: First thing I ever saw him in was LA Confidential.. great movie, but not a hottie.

I think he looks like a tougher version of Eddie Vedder (sp?) here.

@NefariousNewt: I heart Master & Commander, A Beautiful Mind, The Insider, and LA Confidential. I could watch those movies back to back all day long. My love for Russell is nearly boundless.

I find him immensely attractive, especially in L. A. Confidential. I don't mind the current unkempt appearance either, no sireeee.... (lapses into a daydream)

He just needs a woman's touch - where's his wife? He cleans up good!

@PorpoiseSpit:

Really? My love of RC started with LA Confidential. And Gladiator. So hot in Gladiator. Beautiful Mind and the Insider? Not so much.

Proof, Romper Stomper, The Sum of Us and L.A Confidential - just one of those performances would make most actors smug for a lifetime.

Doesn't do it for me. Too meaty faced.

oh my god. when i saw The Quick and the Dead, I had to restrain myself from a cold shower. until it was over. and i had gotten off.

@djtooshay: @lovenoelg: JOKE! I kid, I kid...well mostly. I remember when he was all buff and yummy-and lets be honest, this is as close as I will ever get.

Hey, he's a Method actor kind of guy, isn't he? Maybe he's just getting in character for the new Meatloaf biopic?

@Trashtastic: And I did state that I'm a bit of hoe, esp. anything with an accent. Meow! I can plz haz a UK huunk???

He looks like Clay Aiken in Spamalot. Or have I had too much to drink...

@Scal: I'm planning a trip in Nov/Dec of this year. Maybe I should go sooner! Because that sounds awesome.

@BettyFinn: I LOVED 3:10 to Yuma! Keep watching it has some great twists in it (if you like westerns - & I do). And re: this pic Russel obviously on a set (production truck behind him).

@PorpoiseSpit: yes! at first glance i thought it was eddie and was sad.

seriously... drunken broken hand and all, I'd still fuck him in a heartbeat. My ovaries spasm when I see a pic of him.

Anger seriously ages people.

TOFOG!!!! I actually paid over 100 bucks to see his crappy band Thirty Odd Foot of Grunts at Stubbs. But I loved me some Gladiator. It was our earlier version of 300.

He was dead sexy in LA Confidential. But this hairstyle's making his head look monsterous!

@NicoleItchy:

Well, yeah!

Only - don't forget that Australian men are a little lacking in the "charming women" department. You'll see them everywhere, but you may not get to meet them.

Although the ones that look like Russ may ask you to show them "ya tits".

A friend of mine is "cracker boy", his chef (SMH article by Jack Marx, "I Was Russell Crowe's Stooge"), and I'm always bemused by Mr Crowe's boorish and smugly demeanor. He's actually from New Zealand, but in true Australian style, adopting something near enough is good enough! He is a great actor at times, but methinks he's an asshole!

@Jazibel:

He lives in NSW though, doesn't he?

(though I'm sure the Kiwis would let us have him, regardless.)

@Scal: Tugga lives in Sydney (Woolloomooloo), has a property near Coffs Harbour in northern NSW, and resides anywhere that a film might take him.

He's not looking so great in this photo, but I know he cleans up real nice.

Seeing him in "Gladiator" made me feel things in my loins for the first time.

*loves so much* He just does it for me. Rowr. That being said, GOD, I hope this was for a movie.

He is still my boyfriend!

I don't get his appeal. He was hot for a mini second in L.A. Confidential and then he just turned into a bloated mess.

One reason that I LUST him is that is definitely one of the Uber Bad Boys. (Nom nom nom) You just know that he is deliciously decedent. After a long, hard session he would have you begging for more!!! (dirty talk in an Aussie accent.mmmmmmm)

@Trashtastic: LOL

Is he in costume for a sequel to Gangs of New York?

I used to want to marry him, until I heard that he YELLS HIS OWN NAME during sex. I believe the exact quote was "Go Russell!"
I feel it's important that you all know about that.

Oh honey bear, you're hurt. Come to mama, she'll make it all better.

The first movie I saw him in was the horrible "Virtuosity." It sucked, but he was hot, hot, hot. It has taken almost until now for me to realize he's a little disgusting. @jetztinberlin: Okay, a lot disgusting.

He's been on a rapid downward spiral ever since Gladiator. He's in desperate need of a trainer and a barber. And even then, he may never be able to reclaim the hotness.

He's on the set of the new movie he's filming called "State of Play" where he's an investigative journalist. The "booboos" are fake. And he's keeping the longer hair because his next role is in Ridley Scott's "Nottingham".
And that bit about his calling out "Go Russ" during sex is an old, untrue rumor that came out about him a long time ago. I've met the guy and even if he's not still as gorgeous as Maximus, he has this presence about him that radiates just as strongly as ever. And, yeah, I'm an unabashed fan. www.libriscrowe.com for those few of you above who still might be interested. The rest can get a chuckle of amusement. But it's my sandbox, where I go to play and it's fun...so what the heck!

I'm not sure what it says about me that I fell for him in The Sum of Us, where he made out with another boy. That was back in 1996, and I went on a three-day, seven-movie binge, including a fucked-up evening where I watched a back-to-back marathon of The Quick and the Dead, Virtuosity, and Romper Stomper. A word of advice: Don't watch Romper Stomper at 2:00 AM.

He was hot in 3:10 to Yuma. That is all I have to say about Russel.

He's one of those guys who isn't great looking but reeks sex appeal. And he's a great actor when he feels like acting (Beautiful Mind) as opposed to phoning it in (Gladiator).

But the exact moment I decided I would hit it was in the quite dreadful Meg Ryan movie Proof of Life, when he lays that kiss on her. O.M.G. Kiss me like that once before I die.

Oh, and if he really did yell out "Go Russell" in bed I would love it even more. You don't yell shit like that unless you have a sense of humor.
