Gladiator friends celebrate in Munich: Crowe and Moeller in the restaurant!
What an evening in Munich! Russell Crowe (61) and Ralf Moeller (66) gathered for a memorable meeting to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their film “Gladiator” together. The scene was the Italian restaurant Guido Al-Duomo at Frauenplatz, which is located in the old town. Over delicious pasta and Australian red wine, the two actors reminisced and talked about their future plans.
Crowe and Moeller emphasize that their friendship grew out of the filming of “Gladiator,” a film that not only shaped their careers but is also considered one of the most successful period films. Moeller, who played the role of gladiator Hagen in the film, enthusiastically shared that they have “become friends for life.” The evening wasn't just a look back: over 20,000 likes collected a photo of the meeting on Moeller's Instagram within a few hours, showing the great response among fans.
A nighttime meeting between friends
A very special aspect of the evening was the participation of Arnold Schwarzenegger (77), who joined the conversation via FaceTime. Crowe took the opportunity to express his appreciation for Schwarzenegger's recent Netflix documentary Watching Arnold. It is noteworthy that the two Hollywood greats have never met in person - a meeting that would certainly be worth it.
Another highlight of the evening was the generous tip of 1,000 euros that Crowe and Moeller left for the restaurant's service. This not only shows their generosity, but also the atmosphere they spread on this special evening. After dinner, Crowe was taken by rickshaw to a luxury hotel, which more than does justice to his famous personality.
“Gladiator” and its lasting impact
The film Gladiator, released in 2000 and directed by Ridley Scott, is considered Crowe's career breakthrough. With worldwide box office revenue of around $457 million and his Oscar for Best Actor, he remains unforgettable. The nostalgic comments from fans during Moeller's Instagram posting show what a lasting impression the film left. Memories of the characters Maximus and Hagen were actively discussed and reinforce the cult potential that surrounds “Gladiator”.
The meeting of Crowe and Moeller in Munich is another sign of the strong connection that film icons have developed over the years. “The meeting made it clear that we are not only connected through the film, but that the friendship goes beyond that,” Moeller aptly summarizes the experience.
