We all consider Ridley Scott's 'Gladiator' as one of the greatest films of all time. But its lead actor, Russell Crowe has revealed that the film did not hold potential when he had first read the script.
On Wednesday, the actor joined host Jimmy Fallon in his virtual 'The Tonight Show' and revealed that the initial script of the 2000 released film was "so bad".
"Gladiator was a unique experience because the script that they had was so bad -- it was just so bad," Crow said to Fallon.
"The producer did not know I was able to already get a copy, but the thing he said was, `I don`t want to send you the document we have because you won`t respond to it. But I want to encourage you to have a meeting with (director) Ridley Scott. And here`s the thing I want you to think about: It`s 180 A.D. You`re a Roman general. And you`re being directed by Ridley Scott," the veteran actor added.
Crowe will next be seen in a thriller called 'Unhinged' which will be the first film to get a theatrical release in US and UK post covid.
