Short Summary

  • Actor Russell Crowe details intensive research into Hermann Göring, focusing on finding human nuance beneath the caricature.
  • Crowe shares a powerful personal anecdote illustrating a potential genetic link to gambling addiction, reinforcing the need for strict avoidance.
  • He emphasizes implementing hard boundaries for recovery, noting that five consecutive films led to feeling "empty" and needing time in the bush to reset his brain.
