"It was shit"?! Hadn't heard that one before. I knew he was a conceited dude, so the "greatest actor" doesn't surprise me. But how the hell could Gladiator be considered shit?
I'm going to have to search for the original script to see if there were changes.
He was upset at the famous line
The greatest monologue outside of Any Given Sunday in movie history.
Well, if he was just referring to this line, it almost makes sense. I can definitely see someone delivering this line in a crappy way. But, hey, you hire actors so they bring the lines to life.
