From IMDB news today:
Crowe Objects To Collins
Russell Crowe refused to accept a British charity award after he discovered that a previous winner was Joan Collins. A speaker for the Variety Club made an introductory speech and listed past recipients last Thursday, at which point Russell refused to leave his seat. He announced, "Joan Collins? You can stick your silver heart up you a***, mate!" A guest remembers, "There were a few laughs from several people in the audience. But the Variety Club man looked absolutely livid." A spokesman for London's Everyman Cinema confirms that the event took place, adding "I can't speak for the Variety Club, but we were actually very pleased that Russell Crowe agreed to attend our event. Russell did seem to get offended when the Joan Collins reference was made, but afterwards he behaved brilliantly and joined us all for a few beers."
I can't decide if the man is just rude and obnoxious, or refreshingly honest. A little bit of both, perhaps.
