Russell Crowe Does(n’t) Want to Play Steve Irwin
Ah, the smell of unsubstantiated gossip and hasty retractions. First came the shocking news that actor Russell Crowe was interested in playing the lead in a Steve Irwin biopic — and then came word that the actor was "appalled" by the suggestion.
Looks like we can blame In Touch Weekly for the non-news.
Here’s where you’ll find the original casting news, and here’s where you’ll find Crowe’s ultra-hasty denial.
Fun stuff.
