LONDON, June 1 (UPI) -- Actor Russell Crowe, known for bar brawls, said he never wants to fight again -- a lesson he learned filming the boxing flick "Cinderella Man."
Crowe said three months of getting punched while portraying former U.S. heavyweight boxer James Braddock helped change his view.
"I don't want to get myself into a violent situation ever again," Crowe told the London Daily Mirror in an exclusive interview. "I've seen its effect. I've felt its effect.
"What I took away from filming 'Cinderella Man' is realizing that getting punched in the head is stupid. It's not something I ever want to do again," Crowe said.
Craig Bierko, who plays Braddock nemesis Max Baer in "Cinderella Man," accused Crowe of being antagonistic throughout the filming.
Crowe's response: Bierko's "recollection of the experience is significantly different from anybody else's."
