Josh Brolin Says Russell Crowe Is An A-Hole.

Josh Brolin is quite the mouthy fellow. The “Milk” star won best supporting actor at the New York Film Critics Awards dinner last night. Instead of giving a simple, gracious acceptance speech, Brolin seized the opportunity to call out one of his former costars for being an asshole. And not just any costar – Russell Crowe. Apparently Brolin forgot Crowe’s reputation for throwing phones and beating the crap out of people.
Josh Brolin is one of my favorite actors because he speaks his mind. Last night at the New York Film Critics Awards dinner, at which Brolin won Best Supporting Actor for his work in the drama, “Milk,” Brolin stole the show with his candor.
For one thing, he called Russell Crowe, his co-star in last year’s “American Gangster,” an “a-hole.” Oh yes, he did. He said, after Sean Penn introduced him, “Quite an actor, Sean Penn. And not an a-hole like Russell Crowe.” He then repeated: “Like Russell Crowe.”
Brolin also gave some insight into how movie stars do interviews.
“I said I studied rats,” he told the rapt audience of actors and movie critics at Strata, formerly Metronome, on lower Broadway. “I said that on the Actors Studio about how I prepared for ‘W.’ It was a lie.”
Brolin told me later that he didn’t really mean Russell Crowe was an a-hole. “He’s a great guy,” he said. “It’s all good. He has his thing.”
