Russell Crowe obsessed with archery
London, Nov 29 (IANS) Hollywood star Russell Crowe has revealed he is in love with archery after learning the basics of the sport for his role in upcoming movie ‘Robin Hood’.
The actor learned how to use a bow and arrow ahead of taking on the title role in the big-screen adaptation of the classic tale and believes his training made the movie better, reports contactmusic.com.
‘It’s a bit like learning golf, which I did for ‘The Insider’. And man, I loved it. It’s great. I said to the guy who was teaching me, ‘I’m in love with the flight. I just love it when the arrow is released from the bow…’ and he was like, ‘Well, it’s your sport then’,’ said Russell.
‘We’ve done so much more than we expected to do in the film in terms of being able to get actual shots in there where we can shoot an arrow and a target. But you can only do that sort of stuff if you really take the time to learn the sport. It’s cool man, very cool,’ he added.
