A vintage clip from a 1989 workplace training video, featuring a young Russell Crowe in an early acting role, has unexpectedly gone viral on TikTok. The Oscar-winning actor, then 25, portrayed a disgruntled employee who received a visit from a manager after an accident. His memorable, albeit unintentionally funny, line, "Don't sit on my chocolates," has resurfaced and delighted internet users.
Originally aired on "Sam Pang Tonight" last October, the clip shows Crowe in jest appreciating his characterization and the impact of his dialogue. He humorously lamented the director's failure to capture a close-up during his iconic chocolate line. The video, shared by Madman Films, garnered significant attention and positive reactions from viewers on TikTok.
Before this training video, Crowe had already appeared in "Neighbours" and "Rafferty's Rules," and was active in advertisements. His early career included a role as a mechanic in a 1987 Coca-Cola Surf Classic ad and an appearance in an AIDS awareness campaign. These roles paved the way for his breakout performance in "Romper Stomper" in 1992.
