What Have You Missed?

Russell Crowe caught many viewers of The One Show off guard with his appearance on the couch, which was vastly distinct from his appearance on the silver screen.

During a BBC talk show, a famous actor who starred in big movies such as Gladiator, Les Miserables, and L.A. Confidential, spoke about his ongoing music tour across Europe with comedian Jimmy Carr. Some viewers were surprised to see him and thought he was Johnny Vegas instead. This actor is 60 years old and originally from Australia.

Crowe teamed up with British funnyman Carr to discuss his dream of going on tour as a rock musician with Russell's Indoor Garden Party, on Lauren Laverne and Jermaine Jenas' talk show. Crowe and Carr are long-time buddies and shared that they also play tennis together.

When asked who is the superior tennis player, Crowe responded by saying that they are teammates. However, Carr, who is 51 years old, confidently pointed towards himself and declared that he is the better player. He even went on to say that he resembles Roger Federer more than Crowe does. Crowe eventually gave in and admitted that Carr does look more like Federer, but only in certain lighting situations.

However, what caught the attention of the audience was another resemblance. Several social media users on platform X pointed out that they had confused Crowe with popular comedian and Benidorm actor, Johnny Vegas.

A person was surprised while watching #TheOneShow, exclaiming that they initially thought the person on screen was Johnny Vegas but turned out to be Russell Crowe. Another individual shared that they mistook Jimmy Carr for Johnny Vegas while watching the show. Someone else was excited to see Johnny Vegas appearing on the show, while another person asked if it was Russell Crowe or Johnny Vegas on screen.

Many people watching the movies A Beautiful Mind and State of Play didn't realize that Russell Crowe was the main actor. Instead, they thought he was another actor known for his comedic roles, John Goodman from the TV comedy series Roseanne.

A Twitter user commented that Russell Crowe appeared to be in good health. They mistakenly thought he was John Goodman while watching #theoneshow. Another person wondered if it was John Goodman or Russell Crowe they saw on the show. Someone else observed that Russell Crowe resembled John Goodman from Roseanne. #TheOneShow was quite the talking point on social media.

Other Highlights On The One Show?

During a recent interview, Crowe shared his affection for Leeds United and admitted that he has invested in the club by purchasing shares.

He recounted his experience saying, that way back in the early 70s, post-game, when one would return home, one had limited options to pass the time. There were only three channels available then, with a gardening and a yoga show being the common programs during the day. However, he and his brother usually preferred watching Match of the Day together during such times. As Leeds was a thriving team back then, they could often catch glimpses of them on the show. His brother picked Liverpool as his favorite club, while he chose Leeds as his all-time favorite.

Not long ago, I became interested in Leeds. A man, who represented the 49ers family, reached out to me and we formed a small partnership. While it may not be a significant stake, I now have a share of ownership in Leeds.

You can catch The One Show on BBC One every weekday at 7pm.
