Russell Crowe has surprised fans by revealing a secret TikTok account where he shares his passion for luxury watches. The 61-year-old actor, known for roles in Gladiator and A Beautiful Mind, operates the unverified account under the name 'igp366', a reference to his band Indoor Garden Party.
In his bio, Crowe writes: 'Hello, I use this TikTok to talk about Indoor Garden party & watches. Hope you are happy and busy.' One video showcases his current watch rotation, including a Rolex Cosmograph Daytona with a Tiffany blue dial. 'There's just something about the Tiffany blue that really gets to me,' he says, noting that it draws the eye when worn under a suit sleeve.
Fans have responded warmly, with one commenting: 'Love seeing a legend like Russell Crowe just being a genuine watch nerd on YouTube. No PR. Just passion.' Another added: 'I like him even more now. It's authentic. He really enjoys it.'
Crowe previously explained his watch collecting habit in an interview with Time+Tide Watches, crediting his time on the set of Gladiator for sparking an interest in Panerai. He noted that he wore a Panerai watch to the Academy Awards after his nomination in 2001. The actor has been collecting since childhood, starting with coins, stamps, and football cards.
Crowe shares two sons with ex-wife Danielle Spencer, and he is currently in a relationship with real estate agent Britney Theriot, whom he met on the set of Broken City in 2013.
