CROWE'S FEAT, From May 2000 issue of Flaunt Magazine In
our heroes we look for perfection, but in the icons we adore, it's
their flaws that we cherish the most. Visioned thus, Crowe could
be an archetype for us all. Spiting the smoothing glare of celebrity
and lacking the thick skin of conformity beneath which most of us
bandage our most embarrassing impulses, he's occasionally set up
by the media as a stripped-down, cocky hard case- a no-nonsense
Clint Eastwood.Jimmy Cagney/Spencer Tracy amalgam who'd deck you
just as soon as look at you. He is fully capable of a opaque state
that can rattle your neurons. Then there's the voice, a heated musical
rumble that could caution a running horse at thirty yards, reign
in audiences on a thousand screens, or dare a woman across a crowded
room. ~most heroically typed by Big Apple |
