Hollywood star Russell Crowe says he feels a "tinge of jealousy" that he won`t be starring in the "Gladiator" sequel but he is also a bit "uncomfortable" about some of the aspects in the new movie. In the 2000 blockbuster period drama "Gladiator", Crowe played the role of Roman general Maximus Decimus Meridius. He earned the best actor Oscar for his performance in the Ridley Scott directorial. Scott is returning to helm the sequel starring Paul Mescal, known for "Normal People" and "Aftersun".
While he has no say in the new "Gladiator" movie as his character dies at the end of the original movie, Crowe said he was unsure about the "moral journey" of a particular character. "I`m slightly uncomfortable with the fact they`re making another one " because, of course, I`m dead and I have no say in what gets done. But a couple of the things I`ve heard I`m like " no, no, no, that`s not in the moral journey of that particular character. But I can`t say anything, it`s not my place, I`m six feet under. So we`ll see what that is like," the 60-year-old said on the "Kyle Meredith With"" podcast. The actor, who was 36 when "Gladiator" released, said he fondly remembers the time he shot for the film.
