There's one of this interviews where the actor, I don't remember who it was, says something like "Oh, I think they wanna know what project we're working now. Like if we're doing a movie or something" After that I didn't think of it as a stupid question. But at the same time, when you put it side by side with questions like "Is someone left handed? Is someone related to that other person?" and so on, it does look like a odd question.

He is literally the only actor I've ever seen who can ride a horse properly. I can't watch westerns or any other show with horses. They jerk their mouths, bounce all over their backs, jerk them to a stop. Russell rides well, though.
I am huge fan of this guy, one of my favorite actors, every film he did he was brilliant.
The best in-depth interview of this serious. And he actually answered “the what are you doing now?”question.
Such a great actor, Gladiator will always be a classic and can’t believe it’s been 20 years since that was at the cinema. Would love to have a few beers with him and just tell stories and jokes.
