He's an aussie (well a kiwi we claim as aussie until he does silly things like decided to make a band) he lives the high life of meat pies, beer and rugby.
Apparently he's struggled quite a bit getting the weight off from one of his movie roles but that does not excuse 30 Odd Foot Of Grunt, nothing excuses that. Frenzal Rhomb wrote a wonderful song for him
I don't get a million bucks for getting out of bed,
I don't get a million fucks when I punch folks in the head,
And even if we know we never get a Billboard top-10 hit,
At least we know Russell Crowe's band's a fuckin' pile of shit.
I don't get Olympic athletes to my barbecues,
I don't get extortion threats from the Coffs Harbour saloon,
And even if our pay checks might as well as be counterfeit,
At least we know Russell Crowe's band's a fuckin' pile of shit,
At least we know Russell Crowe's band's a fuckin' pile of shit.
