Russell Crowe

—October, 2000
Done for the ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY's power issue. The
theme that year was fairy tales and they asked me if I could do Russell Crowe as Jack and the Bean Stalk. I liked the concept of stealing the goose that laid the golden eggs but I didn't want it to feel Children's Bookish. Instead I went for an action movie look with the sleeveless shirt and Gladiator look in his face.
