Crowe reduced to tears by AFL team

Friday 27 July 2001

Gladiator star Russell Crowe was reportedly reduced to tears after a team of AFL players blasted his design for a new jersey, saying it made them look like a bunch of fairies.

The Oscar-winning star had been invited to come up with a new green-and-gold strip for his favourite team, the Orara Valley Axemen, British newspaper the Daily Star reported yesterday.

Crowe took his inspiration from the 1960s but the players hated it.

Friends said Crowe, 37, took the criticism badly.

"Russ is tearing his hair out," an unnamed friend said.

"He wanted to play a major role in his favourite team's success, but he's made them look like a bunch of fairies."
