Russell Crowe: American Gangster
Russell Crowe was in Williamsburg, Brooklyn yesterday filming his new crime drama American Gangster about a drug lord smuggling heroin into Harlem during the 1970s by hiding the stash inside the coffins of American soldiers returning from Vietnam. Russell, 42, plays real-life detective Richie Roberts, who busts up the Harlem drug ring. Denzel Washington also stars in this film. And is it just me or does Russell have five pounds of make-up caked on his face? Eeeew. More pictures in the gallery!
Meanwhile back in Sydney, Austrailia, Russell’s wife Danielle Spencer
and 2-year-old son Charles Crowe enjoyed a day at the park.

Well said tofog41, Ann & Kace!!!
The Crowe-hags are at it again. Tell me, what is it like to have a (fantasy) life that is connected to somebody you don’t know only? I’ve met the guy on several occasions and believe me, he’s all the bad things the press writes about him.
THE MOST BEAUTIFULL HUMAN ALIVEBUT BE CAREFULL & BE… MORE PATIENT…
I’m laughing my head off. Are you people really arguing about a movie that’s still in the works and not even in the theaters yet?Or are we all starring in a commercial for Clerasil and/or cosmetic surgery?Or maybe we are playing my fantasy life is better than yours? (heck what’s wrong with a healthy hot fantasy now and then?)Or ‘whose your favourite actor"?Denzel Washington has made some great movies.Russell Crowe has made some great movies.I don’t care about the rest.
Susi, why are you aiming at me? The comments about being bored of looking at the happy family pics and Rusty being predictable were not posted by me! They were bitchytoo’s comments. Pls be careful before you attack me like that! Geez! I like Russell Crowe as an actor, he’s great and excellent.
Susi - so so sorry. Accept my apologies please. I try to be careful on boards, but this time the mistake was mine. I just read the wrong signature for that one post. Sorry again!
Duh, now I wrote the wrong name…I meant Francisca of course.It was very late where I am when I wrote that post yesterday. I was half asleep but wanted to reply right away.
Russell Crowe is great and he has a beautiful son, he is a masterpiece of an actor. kudos! to him.
Susi, peace here. Apology’s accepted. Sorry if I was too emotional myself. I was just surprised, that’s all. You can call me either Francisca or Susi. It’s OK, they’re both my name. (smile) Well, I guess Francisca would be better, so people won’t get mixed up. I really really can’t wait to hear more news and see more pics from this film’s movie set. So excited!
About those moles…my hubby is a Russell Crowe look-alike who actually has moles in exactly the same spots as Russell’s (!) and I have noticed when he is hot and the humidity is high (remember it has been in the middle 90’s in NYC) that his moles "plump up" and become more prominant than normally. So that is what I am guessing Russell’s moles are doing as he is working in such heat, especially with jeans and a long-sleeved shirt on like he has to wear. And that probably accounts for the "greasy" look also. Let’s see those of you who are complaining about his face in the pictures look perfect in that heat! And I agree that he has got quite a bit of makeup on, I see that his chin is a different shape, a little wider and like they have tried to fill in the cleft that he naturally has; and also puffier cheeks. I have also seen him in person, and he is very, very good looking, with a much thinner face than it looks like in any pictures I have seen online.
I was exiting Peter Luger’s steak house in Brooklyn NY, the very night that the film was shooting. My daughters and I saw all the costumes and cars. It was blistering hot that evening and all I know is that I could not believe that these actors were actually working in that heat and humity. I could barely stand it and I was wearing summer clothes. They must have been roasting like potatoes. I think he is one of the most talented actors in the whole world. I fell in love with him when I saw the movie, "At the Moment." I just KNEW that he would amount to something. I love his "bad-boy" image. That must be why I dig on Mel Gibson. I only wish I were one of the girls that Mel partied with. Bring it on, Mel, Russell, and Robert Downey, Jr.
Russell Crowe is in Character , he will be terrific in this role . All his movies are Oscar Caliber .This will be a good movie.Cant wait to see the movie
The deepsters secretly love Russell Crowe but they’re all too ugly and wicked for him.
This is really a good site with recent pictures which fill-in-the-gaps between film releases! However, would someone please enlighten me on the makeup issue? For AG, he DOES look different to me.
