Alex Brooker on the time Russell Crowe was on The Last Leg

what was the Russell Crow moment like because I I find him fascinating because I mean to get an A-list you know one of the greatest actors ever and have that level of interaction with him H how was that we'd had this sketch written where I was going to pitch Gladiator 2 to him and it was called Gladiator 2 son of Maximus so by the way they've remade they've made a gladiator 2 now I've already pitched it to him by the way just let you know see you in yeah it's um and it was called son of Maximus and he was like but my son's he was like but my son's dead or something like or my son died and it was like now you had another one or something like that he was like okay and then it was like but I'm dead I was like yeah but you're the ghost you're the ghost of Maximus that's your role in this film and he was like so I'm coming back as a ghost and anyway but but this was the whole sketch and it was the idea was is that I'd written it and I wanted him to act it out with me but when they told him about this idea when the producers told in his brief and he turned around and he went to be honest with you it's a pretty shitty idea I probably don't want to do it and they were like okay no words see how you feel live on air so I had to then I was like well if he doesn't want to do it just try on air because if he just changes his mind live if the audience get behind it it will put pressure on him to do this I was like but also if he turns around and says I'm a prick then I'm just like I'm on live Telly and I've been told that this idea which by the way was from multiple people on the show which I'm now taking ownership of I'm getting mugged off a live Telly they're like just see and so when I start if you watch when I start pitching it to him I do it I am so nervous but actually that plays into the innocence of it and I think that actually he warmed to it and it was just so stupid it was so stupid and we did a whole thing about how it's like where you can park your chariot at the front of the Coliseum cuz you got a blue badge and it was so stupid but he acted it out and honestly I was so glad when when it when it um yeah when it when it landed and fair place for him for doing it
