Russell Crow may win a second Oscar for his part in "Cinderella Man", despite his his Hollywood-hating reputation; Crow was implicated in an incident with a British producer.

Suddenly, this notorious bad boy celebrity is talking like a contender for Hollywood's ultimate heavyweight prize, the Oscar. Perhaps "Cinderella Man's" greatest challenge is that it hits theaters just a year after "Million Dollar Baby" won four Academy Awards, including Best Picture, wrote ABC News.

"For me, 'Cinderella Man' is the story of how one family survived the Depression," says Crowe, who brought the script to Ron Howard while they were working on "A Beautiful Mind."

"Braddock went on with his life after boxing, bringing up his family, working for a living, loving his wife and watching his children grow and his grandchildren born in the house he bought with the winnings from that fight way back in 1935. I took his legacy to heart. I wanted people to hear this true American story."
