Rami Malek bringin that classic Rami Malek face
Best Rami Malek face in the biz!
That's bad news for his identical twin brother.
I prefer Mali Ramek
Rami Malek as Freddie Mercury as Rami Malek.
Has he ever been recorded with a genuine smile on his face?
When he took adderall
Great scene
God I really need to rewatch this show. I loved it, but think I'd appreciate it more now.
Don't do drugs kids, or you might end up like Elliot Alderson finding God
These dishes look Immaculate
Video game Rami Malek from Until Dawn smiled. Does that count?
Haha
He does look the same in every picture, what's up with that?
Ooooooo weeeeee
C'mon now, can you forgive me, Lindsay?!
Obviously.... Hollywood made a big deal about when he was bringing the faces of other actors and actresses. Mostly a lot of shrieking and 911 calls. They just didn't appreciate his commitment to getting in character.
Crowe’s been doing a lot this year
What else has he been doing?
Drinking beer watching rugby
AND FIGHTIN' ROUND THE WORLD
With tugger!
Oh my god! It’s Russell Crowe!
Shame he couldn't fight cancer, but at least he fought a guy with cancer.
FOIGHTIN!!
A friend of mine knows him. She FaceTimed him once when I was with her. He lives on a ranch, gets high, and hangs out with kangaroos. He’s effortlessly funny and seemingly jolly these days.
I would do the same if I was in a similar position.
A life we should all aspire to live, really.
Never considered that I have a Hollywood movie star lifestyle.
Literally me.
Lots of exorcisms apparently.
You'd think he'd be slimmer after all that exorcise
with a questionable Italian accent
I had a ton of fun watching that movie it was so stupid
The Pope's Exorcist II: Pope Harder
I call that stuff Catholic demon porn.
Fighting ‘round the world
Mostly landscapes.
He gets a pass from me for most transgressions for his amazing role in Master and Commander. Always liked him since Romper Stomper.
One of the best movies ever made in my opinion. Woefully overlooked when it came out.
I feel this. Genius and true masters of a craft, especially something like acting, tend to be the eccentrics. You have to have a certain amount of ego to want to act, and then to take yourself as seriously as Crowe does.
I'm not excusing him, but I can appreciate his work and know he's a dick. (Like Cruise) I work with people who are dicks, but very professional and good at their jobs. This is their art, and if people are willing to put up with their BS to make art with them... I can appreciate that.
I'll watch anything with him in it, he's always entertaining
Agree, he's had mostly hits and very few misses, the guy is versatile as it gets
I'm happy as long as he doesn't start singing.
Lonely Russell Crowe
what fat guy will he play next?
You laugh but with so many actors trying to stay in shape and “young” it’s nice that at least one quality actor let himself get out of shape.
Marlon Brando effect unfortunately- he did attribute his later career’s weight to stress. Cant imagine having to maintain the need to deliver high caliber performance for public through your life and not suffer adversely from the stress.
Dude just stood there repeating what was said micced to his ear or reading printed lines pasted on the set and got paid millions. I can only imagine the stress of making zero effort for the last few decades of his life.
He can go full meta and play Brando in his latter years.
Russell Crowe in The Island of Dr. Moreau. Sign me up!
Russell Crowe as Monroe, Michael Shannon as Montgomery and Cillian Murphy as Edward Douglas. I would watch the hell out of that. Like a super dark version of the 96 film, which was already dark. I'm thinking, darker than that.
Goering was undoubtedly fat at the time of capture but by the time of the trial he'd lost a lot of weight and they'd weaned him off his morphine.
I wonder if it was a keto diet or intermittent fasting? /s
Ketamine diet
I'm going to choose to believe this is Rami Malek's same character from The Pacific
Call you “Ball Peen Hammuh”. Thassa little hammuh…..fo’ a little man.
This ain’t my detail.
Then why are you here?
I like watchin’ the new guys sweat
“Sledgehammers right. Had to be done.”
Rami was very busy in the 1940's between helping design the Atom bomb, prosecuting Nazis, and liberating tiny islands in the Pacific
Just need Nate Mann to cameo as Robert Rosenthal.
I would honestly cheer if that happened. Best actor on the show.
Casting director: I admire your dedication, Russell, but Herman Goring had slimmed down quite a bit by the time of the Nuremberg trials.
Russell Crowe (polishing off a third craft services table): Who the fuck is Herman Goring?
I don’t know why but I am loving Russell Crowe’s chonky era.
Watch Unhinged. It has peak chonky Crowe. It’s not the caviar of films but it’s a fun movie.
That movie was a roller coaster of fun and shock.
That was my first trip back to the cinema after covid lockdowns. Everyone was so pleased to be there and Crowe was a menacing presence. Greatly enjoyed!
Can't forget The Nice Guys! Chonky Crowe loves his yoo-hoo 🥰
I really liked his Pope's Exorcist movie, watching Crowe riding on a vespa was really funny. I actually thought the film was pretty good though.
That was such a fun movie
And doing his best Italian accent hahahaha
It works because he's still a damn good actor.
He was pretty fucking hot in Romper Stomper. Almost unrecognizable today.
lol this is exactly what I thought. Crowe is looking a bit chonky for historical accuracy here.
Also, this is what gets me - the little details that are SO EASY and right in your face, like the red shoulder ropes on the soldiers... In the original photo, they are hanging from the shoulder down the outside of their arms. In the movie, they're under their arms.
The position of the microphone. Goring's posture. The soldiers BOTH having their arms behind their backs in real life, but in the movie they aren't matching. All those little details.
WHY change little details like that? When it's so easy to be literally historically accurate, and there is literal visual evidence on film to base your accuracy on?
also the belt.. it has holes.. WHY
The original belts also had holes in them, they just had white gromets so they didn't stand out so much at a distance.
its a m1936 web belt. they all had holes so you could position the attacments (canteen, ammo pouches, holsters etc) where ever you wanted. they also attached to suspenders to place the weight on the shoulder instead of the hip.
They want to make sure that I don't want to see this.
with things like that, there are supposed to be three little parts of the rope - one loop under the arm, one loop over the arm, and one strand with the little dangly metal bit. original photo has all three, movie photo has just the under and the dangly, but also another darker loop and dangly on the other arm that isn't present in the original? it does seem odd.
I just googeled what Douglas Kelley looked like IRL and Rami isn't exactly close, to put it nicely. So yeah, my first thought was also that Russel doesn't quite hit the mark. But compared to Rami he is still kinda close, although maybe it matters more for Göring? idk
