Russell Crowe unleashed a wave of criticism after a video went viral showing him furiously shouting at a group of fans outside his hotel in Paris. 👀
The Gladiator actor completely lost his patience while dozens of people tried to get closer to get an autograph, so, raising his hands and visibly upset, he said: “Are you listening to me?”, before issuing a stern warning: “Don’t push me, damn it. I’ll come over”.
The situation became even more tense when he pointed at all of them with his finger and threatened to leave if anyone “acted like an idiot”.
The footage quickly exploded on social media, and many accused the actor of “coming off like an idiot” for treating with contempt the people who were waiting to see him.
However, Crowe later defended himself by saying that he was traveling alone, without security, and that he was only trying to keep the situation from getting out of control. 👀
