Russell Crowe Storms Out Of Robin Hood Interview After Journalist Insults His Accent
Posted on Fri May 14, 2010 08:56 AM PDT
Russell Crowe got so angry when an interviewer said that he heard a "bit of an Irish accent" in the Australian Crowe's portrayal of the very English Robin Hood in the new Ridley Scott film, that he walked out in the midst of questioning!
"There are hints to me of Irish," BBC journalist Mark Lawson said in the above clip when talking about the character's accent in the film. "You've got dead ears, mate, seriously dead ears if you think there's an Irish accent," Crowe responded.
Then, Lawson asked if perhaps he was going for a "Northern English" accent. An annoyed Crowe said, "No I was going for an Italian, yeah. Missed it? F*ck me. Anyway."
Lawson tried to change the subject, asking Crowe about a new report that says he didn't want to deliver the famous Gladiator line, "I'll take my revenge in this life or the next," but by then Crowe had enough and got up to walk out, saying "I don't get the Irish thing by the way."
Celebs have known to get testy during pressers when you say the wrong thing. Mel Gibson called an interviewer an "a$$hole" during a presser for Edge of Darkness back in February, and Xtina got testy when someone dared to cough during a press tour for her new album!
At least Crowe didn't have a telephone handy...
Jeez, calm down peeps!

I think Crowe did what most people probably would have. That Lawson guy is a moron.
it would help if the video actually worked dumbasses
really? do you blame him for acting that way? that guy was a total douche, he was purposely provoking him
he should have been reacting in a different way.
Lawson is a moron!!! Mr. Crowe is Australian. Got it, mate?
I'd be pissed off too. What a rude question!
The interviewer was a total idiot. Crowe is awesome.

Ssssss!
THIS is what celebrity fantasies are MADE of!!!! Ugh I want to do SUPER NAUGHTY things to him!
LOVE YOU RUSSELL!!!! *HUG* ★★★
What a ridiculous interview. Crow should have left as soon as the idiot asked the question.......
why should crowe of left the interview just because a man asked a damn question , half of you who have written on here calling lawson a moron are morons , crowe is allowed to swear when any one is listening to the radio just because he was being stupid . The man pointed out a mistake by crowe and he couldnt handle it . Crowe is a great actor ( one of my favourates ) and i love the new robin hood but hes accent to be fair was very dodgy.
