Gladiator star Russell Crowe wants to play the part of Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin in a movie about his life.

Irwin tragically died earlier this month from a stingray barb to the heart he received while snorkeling off the coast of Australia. Australia Zoo held a memorial service at their Crocoseum Wednesday for the much-missed naturalist.

Sources say Australian native Crowe has already contacted Universal Studios with plans for an Irwin biopic.

A source states, “It’s not about money for Russell–it’s about honoring his mate.

“Steve once told Russell that he wanted him to play him in a movie version of his life.”
