I arrived back in the bush last night.
Today, although the sun is shining and the torrential rain has abated, this date will forever be tinged with sadness.
My dear old man, my beautiful dad, the most gentle of men, has passed away.
Crowe, who recently joined the star-studded line up of Taika Waititi’s Thor: Love and Thunder, which is currently being filmed in Sydney, told Extra TVlast year he was quarantining in the bush “because my Mum and Dad are pretty old”.
“Now, my dad’s 84 and my mum’s 79,” he said at the time. “And they’re suffering from the things that people get at that age, you know, early onset this and that, you know, so it was just a better thing for me to do to decide to be where they were,” he said.
“Because, you know, my kids are in Sydney … it was a good decision for me to be happy with my mum and dad.”

The actor said he and his parents were spending lockdown doing “weekly things”.
“We do this on a Tuesday and that on a Thursday … They drive up to the top of the hill to a completely different village where there’s a lady there who colours my mum’s hair … She’s 79, of course, she’s never had a grey hair in her life,” he said.
“And, you know, my dad likes to go there because they’re making cups of tea and they give a comfortable seat.”
Russell Crowe might be one of the most famous actors in Hollywood, thanks to mega-hits like Gladiator and A Beautiful Mind, but he's a family man through and through.
Crowe has two children who live in Australia. (He shares them with his ex-wife, Danielle Spencer.) Family time is hugely important to Crowe because his filming schedule means he's away from home frequently. So to ensure that he gets quality time with his two children, he makes sure he's home between Christmas and the New Year.
Crowe spoke about this on the radio station Nova 96.9 and said he misses Hollywood events because of this and couldn't care less. 'As you know, I'm divorced now, and like many other blokes who are out there listening, I have limited time with my kids. I don't get to wake up with them everyday,' Crowe said (via MSN). 'And I get them every year between December 27 and January, so if you expect me to do anything, anything, I don't give a s*** what it is in that time that doesn't include my children, well you can go and whatever,' Crowe explained.
But it's not just Crowe's children who are hugely important to him. He's very close to his parents — and Crowe just shared some really sad news about a family death.

'Today, although the sun is shining and the torrential rain has abated, this date will forever be tinged with sadness. My dear old man, my beautiful dad, the most gentle of men, has passed away.'
Crowe followed this up with additional tweets. 'I'm posting this because I know there are people all over the world [whose] heart he touched and [whose] ribs he tickled with his sparkly eyes and his cheeky attitude to everyone, and everything, and this is probably as efficient a method as any to pass on the news.'
Crowe added one final tweet, giving basic details about his father. 'John Alexander Crowe 13th March 1936- 30th March 2021 Born in Christchurch, New Zealand. Passed away in Coffs Harbour, NSW, his home for the last 25 years. Rest In Peace.'

How Russell Crowe's parents shaped his career

John Alexander Crowe was from New Zealand, as was his wife, Jocelyn Yvonne Crowe and their son, Russell Crowe. The actor spoke about his family history in January 2004 with James Lipton on Inside the Actors Studio.
Crowe explained that his parents moved to Australia when he was 4 because his grandfather convinced his parents to move there in order to open up a stainless steel muffler shop. Unfortunately, the business venture didn't work, and Crowe's parents worked as caterers on TV sets, especially one show called Spy Force.
'It was really interesting for me as a kid, 'cause I would get to explore the sets and start to realize that not every door went somewhere, y'know?' Crowe said to Lipton. 'So then it was ... this whole artificial world and it was, 'That's cool,' and they gave me a part in this show, Spy Force, which you can still see this footage of me as a 6-year-old.'
His parents' jobs gave Crowe the exposure to launch an amazing career, and, as evidenced by social media, he's remained close with them. In fact, in 2020, as the coronavirus pandemic swept the world, Crowe posted a photo on Instagram with his father, adding the caption: 'Isolating with the old man. 84 now.' Crowe also mentioned that his dad was wearing a Princeton hat, which Crowe had received while working on the university's campus to film A Beautiful Mind.
