RUSSELL Crowe has revealed he called his costume in Gladiator a “netball uniform” because it had a skirt.
The 59-year-old actor also admitted he was drawn to the role of Zeus in Marvel movie Thor: Love and Thunder because he got to wear a skirt in that.
Russell Crowe noted that both Zeus in the latest Thor movie and his Gladiator character Maximus wore skirts
Russell, speaking to the Empire podcast, said: “I’ve had quite a bit of success wearing skirts in the past — Maximus had a nice little one.
“I used to call it ‘the netball uniform’.”
He also revealed he shot his scenes in the latest Thor film twice.
He filmed them in an English accent, and again in a Greek accent which features in the final cut.
He explained: “Originally he [director Taika Waititi] wanted me to do the character in an English accent and I kind of pushed back against that because on behalf of Greeks around the world I thought that was unfair.
“I was just like ‘let me have a go at this’, so they did.
“But that meant my shooting days were quite difficult because every single scene we shot twice.
“We shot once with me doing a Greek accent and once with me doing an English accent.
“And the produces at the time said do it this way and then we’re gong to screen both, and we’re going to go with the characterisation which gets the most reaction.
“So, true to their word, when they screened it Zeus as a Greek man won by a mile so they went with the Greek accent. It was a lot of fun.”
Russell won an Oscar for 2000 hit Gladiator, picking up the best actor gong.
