Russell Crowe scolded fans and issued a stern warning while signing autographs outside his Paris hotel. The 62-year-old actor, who attended the French Open over the weekend, stepped out of the entrance but stopped to address those waiting nearby.
Crowe's Firm Instructions
The Gladiator star held up his hands and quickly asked, 'Are you listening?' He then continued, 'Stay where you are. Don't f***ing push in on me. I'll come to you. Give everyone space.' The Oscar winner added while holding up his index finger, 'As soon as somebody is a d***, I'm gone. You got me?' A few individuals could be heard replying with 'Yes' before Crowe stepped forward to calmly begin signing autographs on posters.
Casual Attire and French Open Appearance
The actor kept it casual, wearing a dark blue polo shirt, navy trousers, and a pair of shades. Crowe has been keeping busy during his time in Paris and made an appearance at the French Open on Sunday at Stade Roland Garros. He watched Alexander Zverev of Germany and Benjamin Bonzi of France compete, with Zverev winning the round.
At one point during the game, Crowe was involved in an incredible moment when he caught a stray ball that flew into the crowd. The award-winning star quickly snatched the tennis ball as it flew past him. He soon showcased the ball to other attendees as a staffer took a photo to capture the lucky occasion.
Accompanied by Girlfriend Britney Theriot
Crowe was accompanied by girlfriend Britney Theriot, whom he was first romantically linked to in late 2020. The star was dressed for the game in a blue suit, gray waistcoat, and light blue tie. His partner was chic, donning a white blouse and a black blazer layered on top. Her blonde locks were pulled back into a low updo, and a bold red tint was worn on her lips for a finishing touch. The couple sat next to each other at the packed venue as they watched the match.
Crowe and Theriot first crossed paths years earlier when they met on the set of the 2013 film Broken City. Two years after they were first romantically linked, the pair made their red carpet debut in October 2022 at the premiere of his film Poker Face in Rome.
No Plans for Marriage
However, during an interview with Australia's 60 Minutes, the actor shared that they don't have plans to say 'I do' anytime soon. 'We are very, very good friends, and we have a wonderful relationship. My life is so joyous and happy at the moment - why ruin that with a wedding?' Crowe continued, 'Why would I go through… I've been married once. I know how it can go and where it can go. So I don't need to go to that place.' He added both he and Theriot are 'very happy' and are living a 'very positive life.' 'But no, I'm not going to get married again. Doing it once is cool, great, you know. But I don't want to do it again.'
Crowe was previously married to Danielle Spencer from 2003 until their divorce was finalized in 2018. The former couple share two children: Charles, 22, and Tennyson, 19.
Weight Loss and Health Journey
The Robin Hood actor has also been showing off his weight loss after dropping around 55lbs. He lost weight by focusing on diet and exercise, as well as limiting his alcohol intake. 'I'm a big proponent for having a drink – it's my cultural heritage and as a working class man, it's my godd*** right, Joe,' Crowe shared on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast last year. 'But as you get older, there are certain things you start to learn about your capacities,' he added.
The actor has also been getting injections which have helped lower inflammation and relieve pain from past injuries. Crowe said, 'What I want to do is make all these changes and make it a long-term situation. [The injections] was a great call for me, because it's calmed down a bunch of stuff and it's taking a bunch of pain away. So, I can go and work out and not have to suffer for two or three hours afterwards.'
Upcoming Film: Highlander
He is preparing for the release of his upcoming fantasy action film Highlander, which is currently in production and a reboot of the 1986 movie of the same name. The cast also includes Henry Cavill, Dave Bautista, Marisa Abela, Karen Gillan, and Jeremy Irons. The premise is: 'An immortal Scottish swordsman faces off with other immortal warriors in order to obtain a coveted ability,' per IMDB.
