Russell Crowe Signs On For a Movie If the Script Gives Him Goose Bumps

Russell Crowe poses on the red carpet at the premiere of his film The Water Diviner held at Lotte Cinema on Monday (January 19) in Seoul, South Korea.

The 50-year-old actor, who starred in this film and made his directorial debut as well, also attended a press conference earlier in the day.

“I have always been very much a narrative-based actor. I choose my projects very carefully,” Russell told the Korea Herald. “I call it the goose bump rule. If I’m reading a script and if I have a physical reaction, then that’s usually the movie that I do. … For me, it’s always about the story.”

“And when I read [The Water Diviner] script I had that essential, physical reaction to it; there was one other layer as well, and that was the desire and responsibility for that particular story,” Russell added.
