RUSSELL CROWE - JESSE OWENS DREAM FOR CROWE

JESSE OWENS DREAM FOR CROWE

RUSSELL CROWE would have liked to have been runner JESSE OWENS at the 1936 Olympics - so he could humiliate German Nazi leader ADOLF HITLER. The Gladiator star loves the tale of how African-American Owens shamed racist Hitler by beating all his white athletes in Berlin - but he wouldn't have just gone home after winning gold. Crowe says, "It's an extremely significant moment, a drawing of a line in the sand in terms of the racial idiocy that Adolf Hitler was promoting. "The one thing that I would do differently is when Hitler was getting up to leave the stadium, I think I would have pursued him."
