Russell Crowe Shocks Cancer Center with Donation

Russell Crowe took a short break from filming the upcoming movie Robin Hood in Sunningdale, Berkshire, to visit a cancer research center where he met with several staff members before handing over about $1,000.

A volunteer was quoted as saying:

“We couldn’t believe it when Russell Crowe came in and gave us the money. We knew he was in the area and we were all hoping to see him, but we never thought we would get quite so close to him. We were all a bit star-struck, but it was lovely to meet him and he stopped and took the time to speak to us.”

Russell has been on a binge of generosity lately.

In June, Crowe gave staff at a Welsh pub a $600 tip as a ‘thank you’ for fixing dinner for him and nine of his friends.

One worker said:

“Now if anyone badmouths him I tell them to shut up. He could have paid and just left but they stayed instead and entertained us. Then he paid us that tip – it’s the last thing you expect. He seemed quite friendly and chatty like a really nice guy.”
