Russell Crowe gets pissed....again

[Jangler]

While Russell Crowe may have told interviewers a few days ago that he was "a lot calmer now," he still seems to be a tad prickly. The Robin Hood star stormed out of an interview with a BBC reporter asked whether he meant to sound Irish in his upcoming film.

"There were hints to me Irish," said BBC Radio 4 interview and art critic Mark Lawson, speaking about Crowe's accent in the film. Crowe responded flatly, "You've got dead ears, mate. You've got seriously dead ears if you think there's an Irish accent."

Crowe explained that his accent comes from the historical record of Robin Hood, before grousing further, "I'm a little dumbfounded you could possibly find any Irish in that character. That's kind of ridiculous. It's your show. Whatever.”

When Lawson asked if Crowe was instead going for a Northern English accent, Crowe sarcastically replied "No I was going for an Italian [accent], yeah. Missed it? F--k me."

The final straw came when Lawson attempted to ask about reports that Crowe intially wanted to axe his famous line "I'll take my revenge in this life or the next" during the production of Gladiator one decade ago. Crowe stormed out, muttering, "I don't get the Irish thing, brother. I don't get it at all."

We guess Lawson is just lucky there wasn't a telephone handy.

What do you think?

Whatever it's meant to be, I think I could do a better accent.

[Jangler]

I thought it sounded a little Irish, but it was better than Kevin Costner's accent...

[Razzy]

Yeah, I could see where people are hearing Irish. I can also hear where he's trying to force the Scottish. Keanu Reeves = worst British accent ever.

Russell Crowe is an asshole.

What else needs to be said, really?

[Darth Biscuit]

Crowe should just sing this...

[charlotte49er]

They had to replace the original Maid Marion because the studio was afraid that no one would buy her opposite him. (She was like 20 years younger!)

[Miaoww]

So they replaced her with a dog? Good move.

Crowe is a dick, but that's nothing new.

[Purity-Control]

F*ck that I'm on crowes side on this he made a joke about going for italian then the DJ ignores him

I would have walked out too.

[Davidson Deac II]

Crowe may be an ass, but he certainly can act.

[Wanderlai]

I just saw Robin Hood...horrible IMO. I wasnt thinking I'd be seeing Gladiator but jeez the movie sucked. I'm not sure but I think Shamus, from the WWE, played Little Jon.
