CROWE’S BATTLE TO NARRATE MOVIE
RUSSELL CROWE had to beg an up-and-coming director five times to let him narrate a small independent movie - because filmmaker KOBY ABBERTON was convinced it was a hoax.
The pair exchanged a series of foul-mouthed telephone conversations until the Oscar winner managed to convince former surfer Abberton he was the real Russell Crowe.
Bra Boys director Abberton tells the New York Daily News, "When Russell called me because he wanted to get involved in the film, I said, ‘F**k you, mate,’ because I was convinced it was my buddy.
"He called back a few more times, and every time I said, ‘F**k you,’ and hung up on him. So then I was on the computer and he messaged me and said, ‘Listen, this really is Russell and I really do want to be involved in your movie. If you don’t want that, then go f**k yourself.’ "Then I was I was like, ‘Whoa! Russell Crowe just told me to f**k off.’"
