Russell Crowe shocks shop staff by donating £1,000

Russell Crowe took a break from shooting upcoming film ‘Robin Hood’ in Sunningdale, Berkshire, to visit a Cancer Research store where he spoke to staff before handing over the generous sum.

A volunteer said: “We couldn’t believe it when Russell Crowe came in and gave us the money. We knew he was in the area and we were all hoping to see him, but we never thought we would get quite so close to him.

“We were all a bit star-struck, but it was lovely to meet him and he stopped and took the time to speak to us.”

Russell has been very generous with his money recently.

Last month, the star gave staff at a Welsh pub a £600 tip to thank them for preparing dinner for him and nine friends.

One worker said: “Now if anyone badmouths him I tell them to shut up. He could have paid and just left but they stayed instead and entertained us.

“Then he paid us that tip – it’s the last thing you expect. He seemed quite friendly and chatty like a really nice guy.”

A young, skinny Russell Crowe does an ad for a bible college

Check out this ad, starring a young Russell Crowe flogging a bible college and the calling of life to the Ministry.

It is cringeworthy, awkward and embarrassing. I think if you showed this to people back in the day and said this skinny guy is going to win an Academy Award, BAFTA, Golden Globe, and Screen Actors Guild Award people would have thought you were delusional.

See how skinny he was back then. With the current speculation that fat Russell has been ordered to slim down for his next role, this bit of memory lane, thanks to the wonders of youtube might make him a little nostalgic.

Crowe has reportedly been told that he is too fat to play the role of the sheriff of Nottingham in the upcoming Robin Hood film directed by Ridley Scott. According to the Daily Mail, the British director asked Crowe to commit to a diet, that consists of stuff other than burgers and fries.

State of Play Movie Trailer

State of Play is a political thriller directed by Kevin Macdonald and written by Matthew Michael Carnahan, Tony Gilroy, Peter Morgan, and Billy Ray. The film tells of a journalist’s probe into the suspicious death of a Congressman’s mistress. Russell Crowe plays the journalist and Ben Affleck plays the Congressman. Support comes from Helen Mirren, Jason Bateman, Robin Wright Penn, Rachel McAdams, and Jeff Daniels.

Yeah, I know, Russell Crowe movie, but one thing I’d note: it’s based on the BBC Mini Series of the same name, which is arguably one of the best mini-series to come out of the UK this decade. The trailer does look good, although they’ve cut the 6 hours of the original mini-series into 2 hours for the film, and naturally Americanized it. I’m willing to give it a shot.

State of Play comes out April 2009.

Don’t worry, Russell Crowe what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. Which is great news for Russell’s wife Danielle Spencer because Russell was felt up by Eva Longoria. Check out the photo with her hand resting on his inner thigh. For further evidence see the TMZ TMZ“>gallery there re photos of them leaning in to talk in each other’s ears. But then it was noisy right?

I know if I was Russell Crowe’s wife, Danielle, left at home with two kids, I would be pissed. But that’s not all, clearly Rusty has some fabulous man scent on or something because he also saw some man-on-man action from Marc Anthony, J-Lo’s plus one. Now that is disturbing.

The photos were taken at the Lavo Lounge.
