I like Crowe, but he can't stay out of trouble. I watched an interview show on "Bravo" recently with him. When he was asked his least favorite word, he responded, "Hollywood bad boy." Ironic after this week.
Russell Crowe, Social Contract Theorist
I caught this interesting tidbit today from WENN:
Russell Crowe, who was arrested Monday after reportedly throwing a telephone at a New York hotel worker, has stepped up a verbal fight against actors who appear in TV commercials, including George Clooney, Harrison Ford and Robert De Niro. Crowe, currently appearing as the boxer James Braddock in the biopic Cinderella Man, threw the first verbal punch when he accused the actors of breaking the “social contract” they had with their audiences. Clooney then countered by remarking that Crowe was using his celebrity to boost his rock band. Now, in the London Daily Sun, Crowe responded, “An endorsement is about money. My music is from the heart.”
Since this is a conservative site, I’m assuming there are a few ’social contract’ theorists out there who might be interested in Mr. Crowe’s speculations. I hadn’t been aware that Crowe was so sophisticated in his outlook! It isn’t clear what ’social contract’ was in force, of course, when Mr. Crowe recently threw a telephone at a New York concierge’s head. That must’ve been the chapter of Leviathan I didn’t read …"
