Can you bring on Keanu Reeves!
Russell Crowe becoming a frequent flyer on Rogan. Hell yeah.
Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife...
Russell crowe teaching rogan about test cricket is what I'm here for.
Joe: "Yeah gambling can be terrible...." Also Joe: "This is brought to you from Deaft Kings!!!!!!"
With a voice like that he should narrate every documentary from this day forward.
Russel is one of the guests - that really can speak his mind and joe just listen and never interrupt.
Russell Crowe’s voice is like “ancient king who’s tired of everyone’s nonsense.” I’d listen to him read parking regulations.
If anyone reads this, watch Master and Commander. Such an UNDERRATED Crowe classic. There needs to be a sequel! He's a legend.
I love how polite and courteous Russell Crowe is with Jamie. Such a genteleman.
