"And I've got friends in the business who were telling me that Sean Penn was going to be playing my role."
Crowe continued, "At one point in time, they stop paying my hotel bill and rental car bill, stop providing me with per diem ... so it got pretty heavy. I felt all that going on around me, and the only thing I had to go off of was the assurance of the director that he'd made his choice. So I just kept turning up to work.
