Russell Crowe is not an icon. The Oscar-winning actor - who has starred in numerous Hollywood blockbusters, including "Gladiator" and "A Beautiful Mind" - has revealed he still does not consider himself an iconic star.
He said: "Many actors create themselves as icons. I'm not that. I'm just an actor. I'm going to be this character one day and this character the next."
The 44-year-old star also admitted he gets frustrated by his fellow movie stars boosting their incomes by demanding huge sums to endorse products because it goes against his work ethics.
He explained: "I grew up with the feeling that to make your money by endorsing products was not right. I don't want to be restricted because I have some sponsorship deal that says I have to wear this kind of suit. I don't think I should be inducing people to buy something because it's recommended by Maximus, my character in 'Gladiator.'"
