Russell Crowe 'threatened to kill producer with bare hands'
A new book claims the Australian actor was not a model of courtesy on the set of Ridley Scott's Gladiator
Russell Crowe threatened to kill a veteran producer with his bare hands during a 3am phone call while filming his Oscar-winning role in Gladiator, according to a new book. Branko Lustig, 77, a Holocaust survivor, immediately telephoned Steven Spielberg in Los Angeles and asked to leave the production.
