Russell Crowe thought the iconic vengeance speech in Gladiator (2000) was poorly written, but did it anyway, saying he was the best actor in the world and could make even bad dialogue sound great through sheer performance.

In Gladiator, Russell Crowe says he refused to do a sex scene with Connie Nielson’s character “I just kept pushing back. I said, ‘This is a story about a man who’s avenging the death of his wife and his child. He can’t stop for sex along the way. It would ruin the journey.”

Russell Crowe said that when he was first approached to play Maximus, the script was very poor. It was so bad the producers wouldn’t send it to him in case it put him off. Instead, they just asked him to meet Ridley Scott. Crowe did get his hands on the script though, and didn’t like it. He was going to say no but he was working on The Insider (1999) at the time and its director, Michael Mann, told Crowe he should meet with Scott anyway. Crowe did and said: “Ridley’s pitch was basically – ‘we’ve got a $100m budget. It’s ancient Rome. You’re playing a General. And you’re being directed by me.’” Crowe was suitably impressed, and took the part. Gladiator (2000)

Mel Gibson was the top choice to play Maximus in Gladiator (2000). He turned it down because, at 43, he believed he was too old to convincingly fight in armor. His rejection paved the way for Russell Crowe to take the role. And the rest is cinematic history—Russell Crowe went on to define the character and turn Gladiator into an unforgettable epic.

Biden just called half the country garbage, and now people like Kevin O’Leary are “pissed.” “The President of the United States just called me garbage. I’m a little pissed off about that. I think I’m going to go stand in line, and I’m going to vote.” This is so bad that O’Leary referred to this as the new “deplorables moment.” “I think that was a mistake, and I’m sure it’s going to get a ton of social media tomorrow. I mean, I know he wishes he could take that back,” O’Leary said. “He is the president of all that garbage,” O’Leary pointed out. “Remember, he represents everybody. Everybody, including the garbage. That [statement] is crazy.”

Yejun said that when he sang "That One Word, I like you" at the encore concert, he was actually really nervous. The members said his body was shaking so much you could literally see it, but even though his body was shaking his voice didn’t tremble at all ❤️: Yejun hyung told me too, he said he was really nervous but honestly he didn’t seem like that at all 🖤: His body was shaking but there wasn’t a single tremble in his voice 🖤: That kind of nervousness… it didn’t even sound like a live performance. It was literally just like a CD, like a CD-type sound

Scaramucci: I think the garbage man thing—he thinks it’s helping him, and they think they’re driving around in the garbage truck, owning the libs. But let me give you a few quick reasons why that didn’t help him. Number one, he looked like an 80-year-old man stumbling into the garbage truck—very, very bad optics for him. Number two, he said to the American public that America is a garbage can, and now he’s riding around in a garbage truck. By and large, normal, rational Americans don’t want an 80-year-old buffoon calling their country garbage.
