Hugh Jackman’s female stalker burst into his gym and tried to shave him


This is just a reminder that no matter how many awesome perks must come with the job, it still sucks in some significant ways to be famous. Take Hugh Jackman for example, a super nice committed family man and an all-around good guy. It doesn’t matter how much integrity someone has, if they’re famous they can be targeted.

On Saturday Hugh Jackman was working out his hot body at Gotham gym when a 47 year-old woman named Katherine Thurston followed him into the gym and and tried to come at him with an electric razor. She was Hugh’s known stalker, and she reached into her waistband, pulled out an electric razor (reportedly filled with pubes, ew!) when a gym employee stopped her, so she threw the razor at Hugh instead. She told the cops that she hated Hugh’s whiskers and wanted to be his second wife. Crazy. In response, Hugh said “Here’s a woman who obviously needs help, so I just hope she gets the help she needs.” He also added that “the primary concern is my family.” He’s so nice.

A California woman obsessed with Hugh Jackman attacked the Aussie actor with an electric razor in a West Village gym because she didn’t like his whiskers, prosecutors said Sunday.
Katherine Thurston, 47, told cops she came to New York two months ago determined to become the married “Les Misérables” star’s second wife.

“I want to marry him,” Thurston told NYPD Detective Frank Francisco, according to a criminal complaint. “This is not against the law. It is not against the law to have two wives.”

Thurston was arraigned Sunday night in Manhattan Criminal Court on misdemeanor charges of menacing, stalking, harassment and trespassing. She was also charged with criminal possession of a weapon — the black electric shaver she went after Jackman with.

Jackman, 44, was not injured in Saturday morning’s frightening fan-gone-wild incident at the Gotham Gym on Washington St.

“The most important thing is the security of my family,” Jackman said Sunday night outside his West Village home. “I’m very appreciative of what the DA is doing.”

Jackman was at the gym buffing up for his recurring role as the superhero Wolverine in the latest installment of the “X-Men” film series when the bizarre crime unfolded.

Katherine Thurston, whose dream is to marry Hugh Jackman, appears in court Sunday on charge of attacking him with electric razor at a West Village gym.

He told cops Thurston was already outside the gym when he arrived at about 8 a.m.

“We’re going to get married, right?” Thurston told Jackman before following him inside.

She then allegedly pulled the razor full of hair out of a bag and charged after Jackman, but her attack was foiled by personal trainer Michael Castillo.

Castillo booted Thurston from the gym. She was arrested a few blocks away.

“I hated him having those whiskers,” Thurston told police.

Thurston, who was being held Sunday night on $15,000 bail, claimed she started emailing Jackman about a year ago.

On March 6, Thurston went to the school where Jackman’s 7-year-old daughter, Ava, is enrolled and confronted the actor’s wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, outside.

“I’m going to marry your husband,” she told Furness, according to police.

Well I hope this lady gets put away and gets some medication. I guess there are some serious drawbacks to being so accessible and known. It’s one thing to have the paparazzi know how to find a famous person, it’s another when some sick fan gets it in their mind that they’re meant to be with them.

Is it wrong to include shirtless pics of Hugh Jackman with this story? Because I feel like I can’t help it. I hear Hugh Jackman and gym and my mind just goes there.

Hugh Jackman admits his wife is bothered by rumors that he’s gay


Hugh Jackman has a new cover story and profile in The Hollywood Reporter. I was surprised and delighted to learn a few new things about one of my favorite male celebrities. The last big interview we covered with him was on 60 minutes, and he covers some of the same ground here, but in a slightly different way. When you consider Hugh’s low key Oscar campaign and compare it to his co-star Anne Hathaway’s ubiquitous “be everywhere, talk to everyone” approach, or even Ben Affleck’s constant “happy family” photo ops, you have a new appreciation for what a classy guy he is, and how he doesn’t seek the spotlight. It might not pay off for him in a couple of weeks though, odds are that the Best Actor statue will go to Daniel Day Lewis, considering how he’s pretty much swept this awards season. (And you don’t see DDL doing any press, do you?) I hope I’m wrong as I’d really like to see Hugh take home his industry’s highest honor. Here are the highlights from his interview, with more at the source:

He worked with Tony Robbins to prepare for Les Mis
Robbins suggested the strapping 6-foot-3 superstar name the secure and insecure sides of his personality. “Frank was the more confident, and Charles was the other,” says Jackman.

“I always thought strength came from getting rid of that fear,” he adds. “And Tony said: ‘Charles is your sensitivity. Charles makes you question. Charles makes you work harder. When you walk on set, thank Charles for everything.’ ” He pauses. “Tony really transformed my life.”

He meditates for 30 minutes, twice a day
Today, he is not particularly religious and says he never prays, though he believes in some form of God and afterlife and meditates twice daily for 30 minutes. “It is about quieting that part of the brain and just seeing and being,” he explains.

On realizing his mother was never coming back
Open and immensely likable, he describes being 8 years old when his mother, Grace, abandoned him and his four elder siblings, leaving them in Sydney with their father, Christopher. His mother’s departure never was fully explained to him, and indeed Jackman only realized it was permanent when he was 13 and his father’s attempt at a reconciliation failed.

“Dad went off to England to bring her back, but by this point she was married to someone else, with a kid,” he says. “It was really complicated. So when Dad arrived back — not three weeks later, as planned, but five days later — I just knew. I was old enough to go, ‘This is not happening.’ ”

On his wife being bothered by rumors that he’s gay
Jackman admits rumors about his sexuality have taken a greater toll than previously acknowledged, especially on his wife. “Just recently, it bugs her,” he says, blaming the Internet, which she frequents more than he does. (Jackman largely sticks to cricket sites and The Economist.) “She goes: ‘It’s big. It’s everywhere!’ ”

His X-Men producer Lauren Shuler Donner shrugs off the gossip. “I have seen him with Deborra since the beginning of their trip to Hollywood, and I’ve been on five movie sets with him and have never seen him stray, have never seen him eye anyone. I met him when he did Oklahoma! [at London's Royal National Theatre in 1999]. He was genuine, hugely talented. He was in love with his wife that day and still is.”

He turned down consideration for James Bond!
[He] declined to be considered for James Bond around the time of the first X-Men. “I thought it would box me in too much,” he says. “My natural instinct is to keep as many doors open as possible.”

His diet regimen for the next X-Men is crazy
Now he is contemplating his future. He is preparing for the next X-Men, which involves a very different regimen from the one for Les Mis — including consuming vats of food for eight hours straight, then going without any for 16 hours. “Your body learns to burn fat in that 16 hours,” says Jackman, his physique at its finest beneath his casual blue T-shirt. “And I sleep better.”

[From The Hollywood Reporter]

Hugh has spoken in earlier interviews about how he was affected by his mother abandoning him and his four siblings when he was just eight years old. I’ve never heard the part about how she had another baby and partner over in England, and how Hugh expected her to return for years. As for his wife being affected by all the fake rumors that he’s gay, she’s admitted that before too, at least a couple of times. It makes me sad that she’s looking up this stuff online and getting bothered by it. They seem so solid to me. He even gushed about her in this interview. (That’s here, I didn’t excerpt that part because he always does that. He loves the hell out of his wife.)

The James Bond story was new to me, but I googled it and apparently Jackman has mentioned before that he passed up consideration for the role and has joked that he regrets it. He would be such an excellent Bond, I feel robbed now!

The photo spread accompanying this interview is incredibly hot, as we’ve come to expect from Hugh. I would prefer that it be shirtless, but in those photos of him in a shirt and tie I can imagine that he’s sitting across from me at dinner, gushing about me like he does his wife. If we can’t have an Oscar-winning Hugh this season, at least we have these wonderful interviews with him, in which he comes across so consistently grounded and genuine. He can’t fake that, no matter how excellent an actor he is.

The Hollywood Reporter also has a great behind-the-scenes interview with Jackman on the set of their cover shoot. What a treat this was.

SAG Awards Open Post: Hosted by the Best Actors, Hugh Jackman & DDL

Here is your Open Post for tonight’s Screen Actors Guild Awards. Generally, this awards show is somewhat low-key (compared to the Globes and the Oscars), but some years there will be some big news. Like, Angelina Jolie debuted her bump (when she was pregnant with the twins) at the SAGs in 2008. And last year at the SAGs she was apparently boozing it up with Tilda Swinton. Alas, I don’t think we should expect anything that spectacular for this year’s SAGs. And by that I mean, all of the drama will be left to who actually wins the awards, because none of them are sure things.

So I’m giving you the two biggest competitors for this year’s Best Actor race – Daniel Day Lewis and Hugh Jackman. Hugh won the Globe for Comedy/Musical for Les Miserables and DDL won the Globe for Drama for Lincoln. I think DDL has come into this awards season as “the one to beat” and Hugh has been running a solid, look-at-my-happy-family, everybody-loves-me campaign. Hugh seems genuinely grateful and gratified when he wins something. Daniel seems… well, he’s happy when he wins something too, and everybody likes and respects him. I think the instinct for a lot of people will be to give them both something, so it will be interesting to see who wins tonight. The SAGs are a great predictor for the acting awards at the Oscars.

So, if you had an Oscar ballot, who would you choose? I’m not sure! I would angle more towards Hugh just because… DDL already has two Oscars. But it will be fun to watch! And tomorrow we’ll have all of the fashion & awards coverage!

Hugh Jackman & Russell Crowe: who would you rather (for the holidays)?

Here are some new photos of Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe at the Sydney premiere of Les Miserables today… or yesterday… or tomorrow? At some point. Don’t ask me to figure out the time difference. I think it was “today”. I know you ladies will continue the long-standing fight about Hugh and how cute he is and whether or not he would be into you, and while you’re yelling about that, I will grab Russell Crowe and take him to my special place (“Bone-ville”). I know, he looks like a chubby, middle-aged d-bag, but I’m still into it. RUSTY 4 EVA.

So I thought I would take this opportunity to wish everybody merry Christmas and happy holidays. All of us here at Celebitchy hope that you stay safe and warm and happy, and that nothing cracked-out happens. If you are in the club and Lindsay Lohan walks in, just leave. The last thing you need is for your face to “accidentally” get in her fist’s way. Be careful while driving and try to get some Christmas Dong. I really am thinking of flying to Ireland to try to put a big red bow on THIS ONE.

Happy Holidays!

Hugh Jackman gushes about his lucky wife: “she’s the greatest woman I’ve ever met”


Hugh Jackman did an extensive sit-down interview on Katie Couric’s show earlier this week. A lot of outlets are focusing on Hugh revealing that his wife of 16 years, Deborra-Lee Furness, suffered two miscarriages while undergoing IVF early in their marriage. Hugh and Deborra went on to adopt two children, Oscar, now 12, and Ava, 7. This isn’t the first time that either Hugh or Deb have discussed their issues conceiving. They’ve both talked about it in past interviews, and last year Hugh said that he and Deb “are believers in I suppose you could call it destiny. We feel things happened the way they are meant to. Obviously, biologically wasn’t the way we were meant to have children.” It was a very sweet sentiment. In this story I’d like to focus on how glowingly Hugh praised his wife, and her talent, in his interview with Couric. It really touched me. This is a dedicated husband and father and it is in no way a put on. He adores his wife.

On how Deb deals with his sex symbol status
I remind her most days, come on. A lot of people ask me, what’s it like for Deb… what I always do on every film is we’ll all go out and have a dinner together. Any of them [his female costars] meet Deb, they’ll all prefer her to me.

On what makes his marriage work
I’m an indecisive person. I’m terrible to go to a restaurant with, I can spend 10 minutes deciding… When I met Deb, I don’t know what it was. It was the clearest thing in the world for me. I knew 100 percent… I’ve never known anything as confidently or sure in my life that she was the one I was going to be with… In any marriage there’s good times, bad times, hard times and bad times. Whatever happens I know we’re going to tackle it together. Truly she’s the greatest woman I have ever met.

On Deb giving up her career in acting
I think for me, she is one of the great actors I know, she is incredible. In fact, she had a time in Hollywood and I run into people, really powerful, big people, who say, ‘Congrats to you, but your wife is really one of the most talented’ and every time I hear that, it reminds me of the sacrifice she’s made, her selflessness, her love and what she’s done for the kids… We always made family a priority but I’m acutely aware, everyday, that actually, when it comes to sacrifices, Deb has shouldered most of those.

She will come back, she will come back to work and in fact, I was telling her right now, ‘You need to get back to work because you’re just too good to waste that talent. Everyone needs to see it.’

[From Katie Couric's show and partially via Contact Music]

Compare the way Hugh talks about Deb as his partner and equal, as someone who gave up her career and is the “greatest woman” he’s ever met and a “great talent” to how someone like Ben Affleck grudgingly praises his wife Jennifer as a good mother and a kind person. (The comparison is particularly relevant because they’re both in the midst of Oscar campaigns.) Hugh loves Deb and appreciates all she’s done for him. He admires her and sees her as his partner in life, forever. I just hope they stay together for the rest of their lives. I know that’s unrealistic in Hollywood, but I’m rooting for them.

Does anyone else think Hugh Jackman’s Oscar chances are looking really good?

These are some nice photos of Hugh Jackman’s Star on the Walk of Fame ceremony yesterday. Anne Hathaway, Amanda Seyfried and Les Miserables director Tom Hooper all showed up for Hugh, which is nice. I’m also including pics of Hugh’s wife Deb and their kids. I especially like Hathaway’s vibe here – more Audrey Hepburn and less Beave-Flash McOscarCampaign. Note: I would hate this dress if Michelle Williams wore it (and you know Michelle will wear it). But on Anne, I love it.

Anyway, as I’m sure you’ve seen, Hugh and Anne both got Golden Globe and SAG nominations for their Les Mis roles. I think it’s looking pretty good that they will both get Oscar nominations. Hugh kind of snuck up on everyone, right? Back when I was reading early predictors and indicators of who would get what Oscar nomination, it never felt like Jackman was going to be a big contender. Anne was, of course – her role had “Oscar-bait” written all over it. But it feels good to think Hugh Jackman will be getting his first Oscar nomination, not for playing against type in some moody, cynic drama, and not for some stunt-casting supporting role either. Hugh is a song-and-dance man, an old-fashioned entertainer. I love the idea of Hugh being recognized for a lead role in a big musical, don’t you?

And that’s what makes me think… maybe Daniel Day-Lewis’s biggest competition for Best Actor is Hugh Jackman. I’m starting to get the same feeling that I had when I saw all of the pieces coming into place for Colin Firth two years ago. I’m just looking at the odds, the way the campaigns are shaping up, the buzz, trying to predict how the “Hollywood establishment” will be looking at these films. Hugh has a lot of love in Establishment Hollywood. So does DDL. But DDL already has two Best Actor Oscars. And Hugh doesn’t have any, and this will be his very first nomination. It just feels like… it might be right for Hugh. *chills*

As for poor Annie and her Oscar Campaign Beave, I don’t even know. I think her campaign just came too hard, too fast and too soon. Like, she didn’t ease into it, she didn’t show up with enough humility, I guess. I think we’re in the midst of a Hathaway Backlash. But! During the awards season, things move so fast. The backlash will be over in a few weeks, just in time to root for her at the Globes! I think Anne is coming into the season as “the one to beat” and it will be interesting to see how Sally Field and Helen Hunt and (COUGH!!!!) Nicole Kidman play their hands. Oh, and don’t forget about little Amy Adams. The Academy loves her too!

Anne Hathaway wears Nina Ricci to celebrate Hugh Jackman: safe & pretty?

Here are some photos from last night’s Museum of Moving Images Salute to Hugh Jackman. Hugh’s BFF Anne Hathaway was there of course, as was Hugh’s wife Deborra-Lee Furness and Hugh’s Les Mis costar Eddie Redmayne, who grows cuter by the day. I’m including photos of all of them. Let’s discuss Anne first! She wore this Nina Ricci Spring 2013 dress which… I like. I don’t love it. I feel like this is “safe” and it’s definitely in Anne’s comfort zone. It’s weird to me that this came one night after Annie’s controversial head-to-toe Tom Ford look. Do you think this is a conscious choice by Anne and by her stylist Rachel Zoe? To do such a strong, controversial look for the premiere and then one night later do something much more “normal”. And this – more than anything else – is why I want Anne to be nominated for an Oscar. Because of the awards season fashion.

As for Hugh… I’m starting to feel the groundswell of support for Hugh, aren’t you? The reviews are coming in, and many critics have mixed feelings about many of the people involved… except for Hugh. Hugh is getting some of the best reviews of his life. Hugh carries the film, and apparently he carries it well. I do think that the time has come for Hugh to be rewarded with an Oscar nomination. I don’t know if he’ll actually get the Best Actor award or if he SHOULD win, but I would be so, so pleased to see him get a nomination.

Hugh Jackman cries on 60 minutes when talking about family: Oscar bid or real?


These are photos of Hugh Jackman at the Les Miserables premiere in New York last night. (Kaiser covered the ladies’ awful fashion here.) He was there with his wife of 16 years, Deborra-Lee Furness, aka “that lucky bitch.” I love these two together and hope we never hear a whiff of scandal about them.

Hugh was interviewed on 60 Minutes this Sunday, and it’s an understatement to say that I enjoyed it. I loved seeing that interview, and although I’m already a fan I came away with more respect and adoration for Hugh than ever. Hugh’s Les Mis co-star Anne Hathaway may be blanketing us with her Oscar campaign, but I think Hugh just cinched it in this single, focused segment.

A lot of outlets are focusing on Hugh breaking down crying when he describes how his mother abandoned his family, including his father and Hugh’s two brothers and two sisters, when he was just eight. (Hugh has since reconnected with his mother, and did see her about once a year after she left.) Hugh has discussed this before, and it’s not exactly when he started crying in the interview. Hugh started crying when talking about how his father, who raised him and his siblings as a single parent, tells him to value his family above all else. It wasn’t a put on from Hugh and you could tell that he was genuinely affected.

That wasn’t the part of Hugh’s interview that got me choked up, though. I got choked up seeing segments of his performance in Les Mis. If just a clip from the film is that powerful, imagine how incredible the whole movie is going to be. I want this Oscar for Hugh. Here are some highlights from his interview, and the video is in full below.

On singing live while filming Les Mis instead of recording it in the studio
You get an emotional truth. For example, there’s one song and it’s, literally, written like this: “What have I done, sweet Jesus? What have I done? Become a thief in the night, become a dog on the run. Have I fallen so far and is the hour so late that nothing remains but the cry of my hate?” That’s how it’s written… I could mix it up, I could take a pause. If I was emotional, I could be emotional.

On his mom leaving his family in Australia to return to her native England
Yeah. I don’t think she thought for a second it would be forever when she went. I think she thought it was, “I just need to get away, and I’ll come back.” Dad used to pray every night that mum would come back.

On if he worried his dad would leave too
Never, in a million years, could I imagine, my father is a rock. My father is my rock. It’s where I learned everything about loyalty, dependability, about being there day-in, day-out, no matter what.

On meeting his future wife during his first acting job
I just had an absolute certainty that she was the person I was gonna be with for the rest of my life. Even when Deb tried to break up with me, which she did. I said– “Don’t worry, I get it. I’m your worst nightmare. A young actor in his first job, but don’t worry. We’re gonna be together. This is it.”

On the advice his dad gives him now (this is when he starts to cry)
It’s always about the family. Ah, ah, it’s all– sorry, mate. It’s always, “How’s Deb?” It’s not about work. And I think that’s him living with, probably, some of his regrets and feelings of maybe he– you know, at the wrong time, put too much into his career. And he doesn’t want me to make that mistake. And so, in his gentle way, he always reminds me this is the most important thing.

On preparing his body for his roles
Well this is your tool as much as your voice, as much as your emotions, and so I’ve always taken that very seriously and I love playing Wolverine. It’s a great character, but I want it to be better than the last time. I want to be physically in better shape, otherwise, there’s no point doing it.

On if he thought it would limit his career to playing gay songwriter Peter Allen on Broadway
Never thought it for a second. What sexuality you are is not the most interesting thing about you. It’s the kind of person you are. And that role, just, had, first of all, it was naughty.

I would never give myself permission to do the things I did as Peter Allen. And his sexuality, for me, w– is another costume. It’s a personality trait, it’s not who you really are. However, when I was doing Peter Allen, there’s a scene where I kiss my boyfriend, who’s dying of AIDS. And I go in for the kiss, and I heard this, “Don’t do it, Wolverine.”

[From 60 Minutes]

This is why I love Hugh. He comes across as so dedicated to his wife and kids and incredibly honed to his craft. There’s something so real and so heartfelt about Hugh. He’s rare among leading men and his talent is undeniable.

Also, we may see Hugh out with his children in his everyday life, but it’s very interesting to me that they weren’t shown on 60 Minutes. He could have easily filmed a quick scene outdoors playing with them, but he didn’t. He decided to keep them off camera when he could have used them to bolster his family man image.

Here’s the interview, in full, from 60 Minutes. There’s an amazing performance from Hugh, in Les Mis, around 4:00. He talks about his mother leaving at around 5:00. Hugh’s wife is interviewed around 8:30. At 9:10 Hugh starts crying. The highlight, though, is when he works out at 10:40! Holy crap look at his arms.

My advice to Deborra-Lee – work on your shoe game, girl. You already won the man lottery.

Hugh looks so good with that Wolverine beard!

Anne Hathaway reveals how she lost 25 lbs for ‘Les Mis’: ‘I just had to stop eating’

Anne Hathaway Hugh Jackman

Anne Hathaway’s Oscar campaign for Les Miserables has begun in earnest even though it’s already been fairly evident during her recent interviews that she’s been ramping up for the inevitable weight-loss discussion. Kaiser totally it called during a discussion of Anne’s Access Hollywood interview when she said Anne was saving the big stuff for a better outlet. Now, the moment has arrived in a new Hollywood Reporter interview where Anne begins to reveal more than just cursory details of oatmeal paste. It’s almost amusing how she’s rationing her Oscar-baited goods, so to speak, isn’t it? Here we go:

Anne Hathaway

Anne on securing her role: “There was resistance because I was between their ideal ages for the parts — maybe not mature enough for Fantine but past the point where I could believably play Cosette [Fantine's daughter, later embodied by Seyfried]. And I did what I do when I really want a role: I got fiery and told my agent, ‘Just get me in the room.’”

Anne on her weight loss: She immersed herself in the role, hiring a researcher who led her to books on sexual slavery and losing weight in two stages (she lost 10 pounds over three weeks before the shoot and an extra 15 pounds during production as her character degenerated). “I just had to stop eating,” she says, “all for a total of 13 days’ shooting.”

Hugh lost some weight (and gained) some weight too! Jackman also had to shed weight to portray the gaunt convict seen at the film’s beginning — he dropped 15 pounds before bingeing and adding 30 more to mirror Valjean’s burgeoning success. “I was eating anything I could,” he says. “If ever there are any outtakes, there’s a lot of me burping.”

Hugh on the tough shoot: After a skeletal crew was sent to Gourdon in France to shoot Jackman wandering the mountains, filming shifted to England and the British coast, where a massive early sequence takes place with scores of convicts dragging a ship into port while being doused with waves. “It was 12 degrees, and the water was coming straight off the ocean,” sighs Jackman. “We were there for three days.”

[From Hollywood Reporter]

Hugh doesn’t really seem to be pushing for an Oscar, does he? He’s gained and lost weight for roles before, so this is really old hat for him. I think he’d be fine with winning an award, but it’s not his thing to worry about if and when it happens. Some actors are like that, and I think I’d prefer to be of that mindset than losing self respect just for a gold-plated statuette. Then again, I usually enjoy watching actors dole out the dish in an effort to win votes from The Academy, so there’s that.

Here are a few photos of Anne in London ahead of the Les Miserables premiere. Jeans and flowers suit her much more than that dreadful premiere dress.

Hugh Jackman looks grizzled at the UK ‘Les Mis’ premiere: would you hit it?

Here are more photos from the Les Miserables premiere in London last night. This post is devoted to the men of Les Mis, although you will see the occasional lady too. Let’s start with Hugh Jackman, shall we? He looks good… but he should have shaved. The five o’clock shadow is making him look OLD. Almost haggard, and Hugh rarely looks haggard (to me at least). There’s been a slow but steady groundswell of support for Hugh recently, have you noticed that? I think this year might bring him his first Oscar nomination. I would like to see that very much, because unlike so many actors, I think Hugh would be so, so honored to be nominated. Like, truly, it would make his life.

He’s not in the movie but Idris Elba was at the premiere, and I think you would all agree that whenever I get new Idris photos, I use them. This man…

I’m not a huge Eddie Redmayne fan, but I’ve heard him talk on and on about how much he wanted to get a part in a musical and how jazzed he was to get this, and it made me kind of like him. He seems kind of film-geeky and sweet now. Usually I find his eerie handsome-ness to be off-putting. Like, sometimes he’s beautiful and sometimes he looks psychotic. I like his velvet Burberry suit! It suits him.

Russell Crowe… I’m sorry, but I would STILL hit that. I know, I know. I can’t explain it. I’ve seen LA Confidential too many times. I’m not a big fan of his buzzcut, but I’m sure it’s for a film. It’ll grow out.

Sacha Baron Cohen is extremely tall, and Isla Fisher is very short. They know this. They’ve been together for a long time, and they know how different their proportions are. So why did she dress up like Sacha’s child-bride? Weird.
