Because being an actor is such a burden on a human soul, sometimes actors lash out irrationally.
While you mere peons have trivial problems such as being unemployed, uninsured, and bankrupt, actors such as Russel Crowe have REAL problems.
Russell Crowe has to deal with the media and fans, who ask him ignorant questions about his work. Don't question a man about his work. Jesus. That's cause for an ass-whoopin', mate.
Some annoying prick for BBC Radio 4 had the sheer audacity to suggest that Russell Crowe used a slight Irish accent in his portrayal of Robin Hood in Ridley Scott's new flick. Wrong answer, mate. As Mr. Crowe says, "You've got dead ears, mate."
Apparently the space between the interviewer's ears is dead, too. You don't suggest that Crowe's Robin Hood has an Irish accent even though it sounds like he does in every clip I have heard. My ears are dead too. I'm a bumbling buffoonish maroon who has no grasp of the intricate details of the actor's world.
