Actors - "Gladiator" Russell Crowe sings Italo-pop
Hollywood star Russell Crowe ("Gladiator"), who is 60 years old and has Italian roots in his family, entertained fans in Rome with Italian music during an appearance. He performed a classic Italo-Pop hit from the 1980s with his band: "Sara perché ti amo" by Ricchi e Poveri.
Afterward, he was applauded by the audience. In the spring, he and his band "The Gentleman Barbers" already performed at the Sanremo Song Festival - however, outside of the competition.
Crowe, who won an Oscar for his portrayal of the Roman general Maximus Decimus Meridius in "Gladiator," is often in Italy. In the sequel to the film from the year 2000, which comes to cinemas in November, he is no longer involved.
