Crowe Keeps It Real

B-Man hookin' me up with some quality writing from ESPN:


Prior to making the film, which opens Friday, Crowe already was struggling with a series of aches and pains including two bad Achilles tendons, sore ribs and a bum shoulder. During the shoot, he suffered through 12 minor concussions and a couple of loosened teeth. He also had to have surgery on his other shoulder after dislocating it.
Most actors collecting $20 million paychecks probably wouldn't allow some minimum-wage thespian or extra to throw jabs at their flawless mugs and bods, but Crowe was willing to take a beating to keep it real.

Good stuff
