Janet Charlton's HOLLYWOOD

A full-figured Russell Crowe showed up in Rome for a festive event involving his 2000 epic Gladiator. While the movie was projected on a big screen, a symphony orchestra played the Oscar nominated score. A nice way to spend a summer evening. Russell, 54, has changed a LOT since he made that movie, but he seems unconcerned. The bushy gray beard isn’t helping his looks any – he’s certainly hiding any indication that he was once a hot guy. Maybe his divorce made him less concerned about his looks (?) – or maybe that old adage applies – his condition is the result of having money and too much free time…
