Russell Crowe Rescued By Coast Guard


This feels just like when Bethenny Frankel was rescued by the Coast Guard with one glaring exception. Well, maybe two. This was real, and Russell Crowe did not need any fake publicity like Bethenny because he is a big star and she is struggling to keep a show afloat ( like that one?) on Bravo. Russell and his friend decided to go kayaking off the coast of Long Island Saturday night. It got dark and they got lost and were about ten miles from where they started. They paddled to shore and at some point heard a Coast Guard ship and called out to the crew who came and rescued them. That photo is probably the biggest smile Russell Crowe has given in years.

  2. Haha, he's wearing the Ralph Lauren Polo stuff we're always mocking. Why must the logo be so large? We get it.

    He is looking ridiculously unattractive.

  3. I don't mind a small logo on clothes, but those big ones, especially the Ralph Lauren ones look stupid. Especially on the clothes the Olympic athletes wore.

    The Coast Guard always does a wonderful job.

  4. OMG Sunny he does. Never in a million years would I imagine that Gladiator would morph into a health and healing Guru!

    Now those Coast Guard boys can rescue me any time! I would like to submit my application to be rescued, especially by the one on the left. Or both guys together bc you all know how I feel about harems ;)

  5. Russell's obviously been to the outlet store because that's the only place I've seen the big logo.

    I knew you would know who Dr Weil is! He's a favorite from my secret FB hippie mamas group :)

    @anita
    I have tried to go to Marshalls to buy clothes for my 2 yr son, but all they have is the damn oversized logo Polo gear. Gross!

  8. Hey, I know who Dr. Weil is, too--I have one of his earlier books, The Marriage of the Sun and Moon, which is about humankind's seemingly innate need to alter its consciousness, and some of the ways in which it can be done; a couple of my roommates from 20+ years ago had a copy that I read back in the day.

    (Part of me would find it SO easy to be a hippie, or at least seriously earthy-crunchy, since I'm a child of the '60s/'70s, but then I'm reminded of how much I like things like the Internet, costume, toiletries, and celebrity gossip, which don't really go along w/that.)

  9. I'd like for the boy on the left to apply to be my boyfriend, please! I already have one, but the more the merrier...

  10. Heeehee, I'm still watching Friends and Phoebe just told Brad Pitt's character to just "take off your shirt and tell us." Love that part.

    Remember when all Tommy Hilfiger clothing had TOMMY written huge across it? I also hate huge labels.

  11. Hell, I not only know who Dr. Weil is, but I'm wearing his shoes after a bout of Plantar Fasciitis ;)

  12. I thought that was Ice-T at first but I'm just waking up from a nap.

  13. omg @anita I used to wear all that Tommy crap when I was younger! And those godforsaken bebe shirts.

  14. Yup, you nailed it, Sunny! Brava! Don't think I would have known that was Russell Crowe.

    Yay Coast Guard - they're unsung heroes in some regards, and they're a fantastic branch of our military. Nice job, boys (and girls).

  15. My mother - who loves her some high-quality bags & shoes - refuses to buy anything with obnoxious logos. She made some exceptions for LV but ended up donating them to her church rummage sale when she started seeing the knockoffs. Her rules of thumb: unless she's getting paid, she's not shilling for designers & if it's big enough to get a knock-off version she's out. Many a girlfriend of mine have benefitted from this.

  16. @DJ, Bebe is so euro-trash!!! I love that you can admit it.

    I took my 10 year old niece out shopping the other day. Ugh. The only two stores she cared about were Aeropostale and Joshua Perets. All hoodies and the logo emblazoned across everything. Why? The Joshua Perets stuff was so overpriced for what it was. But I'm sure every other kid in her class has it....

  17. @Yawn, I love your mom. I have an LV bag but it's not obvious. You have to really look (it's not the brown checked bags).

    Although I love stupid stuff, I talked my cousin out of buying a Coach toque (sp? I'm Canadian, I should know that word). It was a black skull cap but one side had the Cs all over it. Again, I've paid stupid money for things but this was just a toque. Why pay $70 for that? Oh right, the Cs.

  19. lostathome - YES; but he is impressed...

    I would never, ever have recognized Crowe.

  20. I think Russell found that Santa suit...

  21. I'm getting my plane ticket and ordering a kayak on amazon right now so those guys can rescue me...Wow, they are CUTIE PIES!!!Russell not so much(smh).

    ReplyDelete
  22. I thought the one on the right was Caspar Smart for a second. (My God it's sad that I can recognize that similarity so fast...)

    ReplyDelete
  23. You know, I only glanced at the picture, and I never in a million years would have thought THAT was Russell Crow. In some quiet, peaceful part of my mind, he still looks like a gladiator...even though I know he has been a pudgy bloated mess for the past bunch of years *sigh*

  24. ITA with you @Sunny. Used to shop for The Short One at Marshall's, but all I found was Polo and Hilfiger and Timberland, all very logo-heavy. I do like the classic Polo boy's/men's jackets with the collar and plaid lining, though, he wore quite a few of those. They're good for spring and the logos were always the normal size.

  25. For a moment there, I truly thought the Coast Guard rescued Randy Quaid away from Evie.

    RC is filming Noah. That's why he looks like he does.

  27. You sure he wasn't auditioning for the Gortons Fisherman fish box?
    Cause all he needs is a big yellow hat.....
    Maybe he lost it in Long Island Sound.......

  28. The Coast Guard did not rescue them . They gave them a lift back to their starting point. They missed their mark.There was no taxpayers money involved.

    Can you even fit into a kayak, Enty?

  32. I didn't realize Crowe was getting bald as well as fat. Tsk, tsk.

    I'll take Snappily Sweatered Tom Cruise anyday. At least his closet has decent clothes and a mirror.

  33. Looks like Crowe is preparing for his newest role of Santa Claus. Dude's starting to make Kilmer look svelte by comparison.

  35. Russell, you are looking so unappealing these days. Never thought you looked all that hot, but this is really sad.

  36. All I can do is giggle.

  37. What the hell happened to Russell Crowe? eeewwww!!!! Shave that shit off and get a haircut man!!

  38. Russ looks like an old man. Maybe he an Daniel are not together.

    ReplyDelete
  39. @AlexT, I agree. Plus, isn't Tommy at least known for being nice, even if he is completely brainwashed.

    ReplyDelete
  40. I knew Russell Crowe was Santa Claus! I just knew it! Nobody believed, but I did! I did!

  41. Russell is preparing to play Noah.
    Danielle was photographed being physically close with her dance partner from Dancing With The Stars. Who knows?

  42. This happened less than 10 minutes from my house. The Noah's Ark movie is being filmed in Upper Brookville, about 5 miles from where I live. They were looking for extras in their 30's-40's who were natural looking. Believe me, in this area that is hard to find. I almost went but I ended up not wanting to get up that early!

  43. I have a friend who is obsessed with wearing Bebe clothing. I'm sorry but my chest is not a walking billboard for any clothing line. Tacky!

  44. I think he looks like Rob Reiner there. I honestly do.

  45. I thought that Russell Crowe was one of the Coast Guard rescuers!
