The 45-year-old actor is reportedly struggling to find a property to rent in west Wales, where he is currently filming Sir Ridley Scott's adaptation of 'Robin Hood'.
Russell is believed to have applied to lease two luxury mansions in Pembrokeshire, and been rejected both times - because wealthy tourists are willing to pay more than him.
Local real estate agent Nigel Jones claims the star is unlikely to find a home in the region because most holiday properties are booked out for the summer.
Jones said: "A lot of the rental houses are summer or holiday lets and they're already reserved. It may be difficult for someone like Russell Crowe to find a suitable house.
"The area is very popular and few properties priced at the £1.5 million mark will be up for rent. Often, sellers are not looking to rent. They want someone to buy their house."
While he is looking for a home, Russell is expected to stay on the film set, where he has three trailers, including one which is filled with £80,000 worth of gym equipment.
Russell - who is said to be desperate to stay thin for the film - reportedly spends hours each day locked in the converted motor home, lifting weights, boxing, jogging on the treadmill and cycling.
A source said: "Russell is a professional. He knew he was cast to play Robin Hood, not Friar Tuck. He knows he has to stay fit."
