Russell Crowe Turned Down Aragorn in ‘Lord of the Rings’ After Iffy Peter Jackson Meeting

Russell Crowe on turning down Aragorn: “I very much felt the studio were making that decision, not the director. [Peter Jackson] wasn’t saying the sort of things that directors were saying to you if they were really trying to attract you to a project."https://t.co/QmM5ZBtu6Y

What has Russell Crowe done?

[bostongirl2003]

he's been known to be nasty to service ppl, can't remember if there's more. He got upset at hotel staff once about a phone issue and I think he threw one at somebody.

i wish i could say nic cage would have been a worse choice but i can't

but viggo IS aragorn

Who remembers playing the movie games like two towers where you could play as aragorn,legolas and gimili and they even brought back the actual actors to voice them

[justabwaybaby]

I think The Two Towers is the only game my sister and I ever actually finished lol

[tadpool]

yesss me and my sis loved those games, we remember so many random ass quotes because of them lol [the way is shut]

so thankful we dont live in that timeline. viggo was on danish tv just recently promoting his new movie and it was both weird but frickin cute listening to him speak danish. his energy is so calm and down to earth

I could see that in 1999 when they were filming the movies. I'm glad they got Viggo though. The one that Charlize dated being fired was also a lucky escape.

Stuart Townshend!! I remember they mentioned he just wasn’t a good fit.

[ahkna]

I knew it was Stuart something but all I could remember was his face playing Lestat

[euraylie]

Terribly miscast there as well
