Russell Crowe Blames Phone Toss On Jet Lag, Loneliness And Adrenalin

June 9th, 2005 // 9 Comments

Let us all quietly weep for Mr. Crowe right now. He maintains that he was not aiming the phone directly at the concierge.

He blamed his state of mind on “the combination of jet lag, loneliness and adrenalin”, having just returned to the US after a flying visit to London for the Kostya Tsyzu fight, without wife Danielle.

“I’m at the bottom of a well. I can’t communicate how dark my life is right now,” Crowe said. “I’m in a lot of trouble. I’ll do my best to solve the situation in an honourable way. I’m very sorry for my actions.”

Holed-up in a New York hotel room and missing his family just a day after his arrest, he added: “I will spend the rest of my life if it takes it, trying to make it up with my wife.

“I’m pleased that my son isn’t able to compute what’s going on at the moment because that would be a heartbreaking thing.”

I’m assuming this is not the same well that baby Jessica fell into years ago. I’m hoping that the metaphorical well is at least pretty, with some ivy on the sides of it. Cool and calming.

Well Mr. Crowe’s fate now rests in the hands of Nestor Estrada (no relation to Eric Estrada), the concierge that was injured by Russell Crowe’s phone. I’m assuming that a big fat check could possibly make this whole thing go away.

    i hate to say it but he actually looks quite cute in that pic. other than that he seems to be quite the dull asshole

    OMG. I almost coughed up a telephone that flew across the room and hit the help when you compared his well to that of Baby Jessica. Chances are she’s a better songwriter at this point. Speaking of which, I can see it all now. Russell’s new album on mp3.com . . . Songs from the Well: Observations from a Dark, Wet Place.

    Hopefully he grows up before his son does…

  4. That was a truly lame response. And why is he making it up to his wife because he threw a phone at a hotel employee? After all this brouhaha, has it occured to anyone else to wonder why he doesn’t have a cellphone? By now, even my mother has one…

    The judge could order anger management classes…

  6. Prentiss

    Spoiled brat. Jet lag and lonliness? Thank God he’s an actor, not a soldier.

  7. Bitch01

    Sounds to me like Russie is having marital problems…

    Visited one stripper too many and Danny is p-o’ed. Explains why he was so hot when he couldn’t talk to her.

    He’s obviously an excellent bullshitter.

    “JERKUS MAXIMUS” need to learn a lesson. I hope the poor guy who was hit by the phone sues him so that he doesn’t ever have to put up with jerks like this dummy, who thinks everyone needs to bow down because he’s an actor.
