At the New York Film Critics Awards<\/a> dinner last night\u00a0Brolin was remarkably candid about his American Gangster<\/a> co-star Russell Crowe<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n After winning\u00a0Best Supporting Actor for his role in\u00a0Milk<\/a>\u00a0and being introducedby co-star\u00a0Sean Penn<\/a>\u00a0Brolin said:<\/p>\n Quite an actor, Sean Penn. And not an a-hole like Russell Crowe.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n He then apparently repeated Crowe’s name just in case anyone missed it:<\/p>\n Like Russell Crowe.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n He also had some choice words for New York Times theatre critic Ben Brantley<\/a>, who pissed him off with this negative review from 2000<\/a> when Brolin was in a production of Sam Shepard’s play ‘True West’, saying:<\/p>\n I hate that motherf***er.\u00a0And I don’t think he’s a good writer.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n According to Fox News he was sort of joking<\/a>:<\/p>\n He\u2019s a great guy. It\u2019s all good. He has his thing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n This hot on the heels of the release of his arrest back in July<\/a> whilst filming W in Louisiana.<\/p>\nJosh Brolin<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0isn’t a man to mince his words.<\/p>\n
