It's not tights but I do have a pretty nice, snazy pair of leather pants with a rather large cod piece."Excited to start filming the movie, Crowe declares, “I think it's an incredible opportunity to take an iconic story and make a fabulous contemporary action adventure romance movie. And that’s what we're going to do...We have an incredible cast around us...We'll try to rob from the rich and give to the poor and kick some ass on the way."When asked about his wife and two kids, Crowe was effusive, “I'm away from them now since I'm working but they'll be here in about four weeks and I'm just counting down the days. My oldest boy's at school now...My other little boy is coming up on three [years old] so he's clicked over from angel to some form of demon. It's a wonderful thing. I couldn’t speak more highly. It has changed my life. It’s changed me. It's made me a much better person."It’s no secret that Crowe knows how to sing but would he ever star in a musical? He responds, “If the right thing came along...There is a film that I'm looking at next year based on a book from an Australian writer which has a character within the book that plays in a band so that's something I'm looking at the moment."In State of Play which hits theaters next month, Crowe’s character is an investigative journalist. “For me, not a fan of journalists as you may understand. My main aim was to play a journalist as a human, as opposed to playing a journalists as a super hero,” Crowe says. “Extra’s” interview with Russell Crowe airs tonight.

It's lovely to see Russell Crowe being so happy with his life and career. He appears to be relaxed and is enjoying family life very much. Happily married with his beautiful wife, Danielle Spencer, got two adorable boys. I just love the way he told stories on his boys, Charles and Tennyson. Charlie will grow to be an eye candy, a fine young lad. And so Tenny has transformed himself from being a little cutie into a charming little devil. LOL!! Sir Ridley's Robin Hood version would be something to look forward to in 2010. I'm very excited, especially the pairing of Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchett. What a dream comes true. :)
