Legendary Australian actor Russell Crowe has revealed what he has learnt about Anthony Albanese over the 25 years they have known each other, and why it is relevant to his leadership.
Speaking to Sky News Australia’s Erin Molan to promote his new movie The Pope’s Exorcist – a film based on the files of the Vatican’s Chief Exorcist Father Gabriele Amorth.
“If you think about it – and it’s funny because we didn’t know it at the time – but through my lifetime with political people like Gough , like Malcolm Fraser, like Bob Hawke, like Paul Keating… we had some extremely intelligent men looking after the interests of our country, and we were very lucky,” Crowe said.
“Of course if he’d asked me for something I would have said yeah, but he never did. Because if he wanted to go to the game he was going for his own reasons.Crowe said Australia was “really lucky” to have Mr Albanese as Prime Minister, because he will do what politicians are supposed to do. “And that is a politician’s job, not the other bull***t we have seen from people who have pretended to be in that position in the last decade or so, the actual job of improving people’s lives and that’s what I believe he is going to do for us.”
When asked which current or former Australian prime minister he would most like to play, Crowe joked that the “cheeky person” in the back of his mind wanted to say “none of the bastards”, before mentioning a few historical figures and periods he thought were interesting.“Federation is an interesting period in Australia’s history. Also having to deal with a Pacific war with Japan, that’s an interesting period.
