Washington
(ANI):
Hollywood
actor
Josh
Brolin
has
apologized
for
his
expletive-filled
comments
he
made
about
Gladiator
star
Russell
Crowe
at
the
New
York
Film
Critics
Awards.
The
40-year-old
actor
has
blamed
his
alcohol
intake
and
the
'ambiance'
of
the
ceremony
for
what
he
said
while
receiving
a
gong
for
Best
Supporting
Actor
in
Milk.
Brolin
called
his
'American
Gangster'
co-star
Russell
Crowe
an
'a-hole',
after
Sean
Penn
introduced
him."Quite
the
actor,
that
Sean
Penn.
He's
not
an
a**hole
like
Russell
Crowe," he
said.
In
an
interview
to
HollyScoop.com,
he
admitted
that
he's
ashamed
of
his
behaviour
at
the
awards
dinner.
"It
was
the
ambiance
of
the
room.
I
love
him
(Crowe).
I
think
he's
amazing.
He's
a
friend.
I
was
bummed
out
when
I
saw
that,"
Contactmusic
quoted
him
as
saying.
The
actor
had
also
launched
an
attack
on
newspaper
theatre
critic
Ben
Brantley,
who
panned
his
2000
Broadway
performance
in
Sam
Shepard's
True
West.
He
told
the
stunned
crowd,
"I've
had
the
gamut
of
reviews
over
the
past
few
years,
the
worst
being
from
Ben
Brantley
(of
The
New
York
Times).
The
critics
of
NYC
have
written
incredible
reviews...
except
for
Ben
Brantley's.
F**k
you,
Ben.
God,
I
hate
that
motherf**ker!
And
I
don't
think
he's
a
good
writer."
