Russell Crowe has established a name that is simply unforgettable in Hollywood due to all his box office successes, with an appeal that can make any woman fall in love with.

If you are a fan of Russell, do you think you know a lot about him already?

A good thing to start with is that, no matter how many think that he is Australian, he actually isn't. He was born in New Zealand and they just migrated to the Land Down Under when he was just a kid and went back to their home country when his teenage years came. At present, he decided to choose to stay in Australia where their family owns a huge ranch in Sydney.

Russell is an actor who is truly dedicated to his craft, no wonder he got the Oscars for his work in the film 'Gladiator.' But way back in 1997 for a classic 'LA Confidential,' he went out of his usual lifestyle to imbibe the presence of the character he is to play then which is of Bud White. Even if he stands at 5'11" in height, he once lived in a very tiny flat where he can just about squeeze himself in everyday.

According to the dedicated actor, it was his strategy to feel the overall impact of the character he will portray that is to make him feel like he is a giant. The world of 'The Matrix' was once offered to him to portray, particularly the character of Morpheus. However, he said without hesitation that the world that the plot projects does not interest him at all.
