Gladiator: Crowe’s Lycra Shorts Don’t Make Sense
The leather outfit Russell Crowe wore was, in itself, iconic. However, the spandex he had on under the leather? Not very much. The skin-hugging shorts were seen many times throughout the movie. In addition, it’s clear that it wasn’t common in ancient Rome. The fall of the empire was more than 1,500 years ago. On the other hand, Spandex was introduced in the year 1962.
