Russell Crowe
2013 Icon of the Year
A hero on screen, a legend off it. Be upstanding for this influential oscar-winning actor, dedicated father and man of all men.
“Icon” – a person regarded as a representative symbol or as worthy of veneration.
That’s the official definition of “Icon” and it’s worth reminding ourselves because only a select few fit the criteria and deserve the mantle. Russell Ira Crowe is one of those.
Crowe is soon to enter his 50th year and about to make his 40th film. He’s been a star for three decades, first exploding onto the screen in 1992’s Romper Stomper and most recently starring in Darren Aronofsky’s hotly anticipated epic, Noah. Along the way he’s won an Oscar, a BAFTA and a Golden Globe.
But these are trifles and trinkets compared with the performances he has given us. Crowe is an icon because he embraces the iconic in every role he attempts: raging bull cop in LA Confidential, torn idealist of The Insider, mad genius of A Beautiful Mind, black knight highwayman in 3:10 to Yuma, braveheart boxer in Cinderella Man, old salt captain in Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, operatic lawman in Les Misérables.
They are men of conflict and integrity, built through observation and immersion, hard work and deep thought – men who move us. Few take to heart the responsibility of manhood like Crowe. Even when that fellow is iconic – as in Gladiator, Robin Hood and Noah – Crowe unearths the man in the myth and fleshes him afresh. There is personal sacrifice in every character he plays – rapid weight gain and loss, intense physical regimes, lengthy periods of isolation from home, emotional exorcisms – but like any committed craftsman, Crowe makes from his own makings.
