Russell Crowe, the iconic actor known for his roles in movies like Gladiator, is contemplating retirement from the film industry as he nears his 60th birthday. Speaking at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival, Crowe shared his uncertainty about his future in acting, suggesting that fading into obscurity might offer him a better life. He expressed the dilemma of aging, stating, “You are standing in front of the mirror, and go: Who the f— is that?’ I am in that period now.” Crowe mentioned considering two options: following Ridley Scott’s example of continuous exploration in work or abruptly retiring, leaving fans wondering about his next move.

At 85, Ridley Scott, Crowe’s collaborator on Gladiator, remains active with numerous projects lined up. Meanwhile, Crowe has eight upcoming films, but his plans to release documentaries are on hold due to legal concerns. He humorously remarked, “In order to release them, I have to make them legally comfortable. And to me, that destroys the point. So I just have to wait longer, wait for some people to die, and then I can put them out.”
