Russell Crowe's toilet skills, according to Farrell

Colin Farrell is such a fan of Russell Crowe he would be impressed with him even if all he did in a film was go to the toilet.

The Irish actor says Crowe is one of his biggest idols and it doesn't matter what parts he plays because he will always deliver an amazing performance.

Colin told Vanity Fair magazine: "I really enjoyed watching 'Gladiator'. But I really think that Russell Crowe could get up, pull his pants down, take a s***t, and you would still be completely blown away by it."

Meanwhile, Crowe has revealed he wants to make 'Gladiator 2'.

The 42-year-old actor, who played Roman warrior Maximus in the Oscar-winning original, says he and director Ridley Scott are constantly thinking up sequel ideas - even though his character died at the end of the first movie.

Crowe said: "The idea of doing a 'Gladiator 2' comes up all the time but we've made it very difficult for ourselves by killing off my character.

"We have an idea but it never seems to have sufficient credibility. It just comes back at us and says, 'Are you kidding?' Maybe we are kidding. Maybe we just enjoy talking about it."
