Russell Crowe tells Twitter followers about his Kiwi roots after Aussie rugby defeat
HAVING endured the British and Irish Lions defeating his beloved Australia in the dramatic decider of their rugby Test series at the weekend, Russell Crowe is suddenly keen to stress his precise heritage.
Despite having playfully taunted his British fans on website Twitter during the two teams’ encounters, Crowe now announces: “Just before you Pommies start gloating at me… born in New Zealand remember.”
The Gladiator Oscar-winner adds: “Born in New Zealand, live in Australia, one Welsh grandad, one Scottish. Also Italian, Norwegian and Maori heritage… also English (but I don’t mention that).”
