iltempo translation thanks to Sophie: Crowe
reached Rome yesterday where he'll introduce
the film on Tuesday and where he has organised his family base. Now he's at the "Grand Hotel St. Regis" in the panoramic
royal suite. To protect his family there are body guards and his
assistant Keith Rodger.
"There's something of Max in me," Crowe says. "A Good Year represents the joy of living, while "ABM" or "CM", recalled the survival instinct, and in "Gladiator" the dead prevailed. It's time for me to have happy roles. I wanted to go in Provence and bring my wife with me. I knew that she'd like it. I enjoy working with Ridley and now I'm working on a film with him entitled "American Gangster". We are happy to be in Rome. It is a city that I love and sometimes for a joke, I say to Ridley:" Why don't we do Gladiator 2?" and he laughs. But now I want to stay here with my sons. Fatherhood changes all. To have sons is a wonderful truth, when I'm far away from them for my job, they miss me terribly. This is a beautiful period of my life. Family life means the most to me and I've refused some other parts because of a long separation. This is good for me as an actor, it makes me select the scripts meticulously. In "AGY" there is a provenza saying: "the castle doesn't belong to you, it is you that belongs to the castle". And now I think that I belong to my family, not to the public. That is the most fantastic and sweetest feeling." |
