Russell Crowe is remembering Christopher Plummer by telling fans a story of working with the iconic actor.

“Good man. Fine actor,” Russell described Christopher as he started his stories of him.

After sharing a story of Christopher‘s recollection of how he became friends with Peter Finch, Russell recalled the way he and Christopher had become friends as well – on the set of 1999′s The Insider.

He also said that Christopher not getting an Oscar out of it, was a “travesty”.

But, when Christopher did win an Oscar in 2012, Russell was one of the first to congratulate him.

Christopher passed away earlier this morning at his home in Connecticut.

Many of his peers have shared their memories to him on social media, including his Sound of Music co-star Julie Andrews. See what she wrote here…

“Lots of folk complaining about lack of sleep during the Pandemic. May I recommend Master And Commander starring the usually captivating, attention-grabbing Russell Crowe. I’ve never made it past the ten minute mark. You’re welcome. And thanks Russell,” the user wrote.

“That’s the problem with kids these days. No focus. Peter Weirs film is brilliant. An exacting, detail oriented, epic tale of fidelity to Empire & service, regardless of the cost. Incredible cinematography by Russell Boyd & a majestic soundtrack. Definitely an adults movie,” Russell reacted.

Many fans chimed in to agree with the star, including Josh Gad, who replied: “a perfect movie.”

An A-lister recently revealed Russell Crowe is on his list of enemies. Find out why!

George Clooney spoke briefly about his feud with actor Russell Crowe in his new GQ cover story.

He previously told Esquire in 2013, “The truth is that [Russell] did send me a book of poems to apologize for insulting the shit out of me, which he did. He picked a fight with me. He started it for no reason at all.”

Seven years later in this month’s new GQ, George spoke briefly about the feud, with the magazine writing, “the list of former Clooney enemies—though not particularly long—is extremely deserving.”

George recalled Russell once saying, “Just out of the blue, he’s like, ‘I’m not some sellout like Robert De Niro and Harrison Ford and George Clooney.’ I’m like, ‘Where the f*ck did that come from?’ ”

As for why George doesn’t have a big list of enemies? He has mostly “ceded the fights to other people.”

“I have much more fun watching Chrissy Teigen,” George added. “Somebody steps into her world and you go, ‘Oh, I wouldn’t do that, dude.’ It’s so much fun. Like somebody who thinks they’re really smart, and you just go, ‘Ugh, dude. You brought a knife to a gunfight.’”

George also confirmed a wild rumor about him in the same interview!

Harry Pritchard created a GoFundMe page, explaining that after three years of auditioning, he was accepted to the prestigious London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art, but was unable to afford the school.

“I hate to use a cliche, but all I could think when the letter came through was ‘dream come true.’ But, there is a major hurdle in the way – paying for it,” he wrote.

“I come from a low income family who cannot afford to support me with the fees. The school offers only one bursary to cover the tuition for the year but I missed out as I didn’t receive my place until after it had been awarded. I have been saving every penny over the past year, but it’s barely even enough to cover my living costs.”

The total cost of the course is £13,799 (approximately $18,430).

He has since raised over £14,000, including a donation by Russell for £2,741.

“Congratulations Harry. Looking forward to hear of your success. Thank you to everyone who got involved and gave this young bloke a lift and a helping hand, you are all lovely and brilliant,” he wrote on social media.

“I can’t put into words how grateful I am for everything you all have put into this. It really has changed my life. I am so excited to start at LAMDA in October and begin my training,” he wrote, going on to encourage people who still wished to donate to give to other young actors in need,” the young actor wrote in an update to his GoFundMe.

Russell recently opened up about a possible Gladiator sequel.

Russell Crowe is opening up about the much-talked about sequel to Gladiator.

During a new interview, the subject of a sequel to the popular 2000 film was brought up again, after being talked about for years.

“I can tell you those conversations have been going on since the last day of shooting,” he told E!. “The last one and there’s been a lot of different ideas of approaching things.”

But, Russell admits, he might not even be in the movie at all because he keeps “being like this sort of party pooper when I say, I just wanted to remind you I died in the first one.”

Connie Neilsen, who starred in the film with Russell as Lucilla, spoke to Entertainment Weekly that she is up for the project if it develops into one.

“I think it’s a question of COVID and can we get back to work. But I would be interested in doing [the film], for sure. I mean, it’s obviously a wonderful project, so of course I would be interested.”

Russell‘s new movie, Unhinged, is expected to be released later this month.
