Ridley Scott didn't start making films until he was 40, but he's been cranking out a hugely varied list of hits ever since, from Thelma and Louise to Gladiator. As his new film American Gangster is released ahead of his 70th birthday, he tells Stephen Moss why he's far from done. Rudely, I wanted to begin by asking Ridley Scott about his age. He is 70 this month, but would pass for a gnarled, grizzled, folk-singerish 50-something.
