Russell Crowe, famous for his portrayal of Maximus in ‘Gladiator,’ has noticeably aged since his peak in Hollywood. Recent photos show the 60-year-old actor with a gray beard and prominent wrinkles.

Nevertheless, Crowe hasn’t shied away from romance: he recently announced his engagement to 30-year-old Australian actress and singer, Britney Theriot. Prior to this, Crowe was married to Danielle Spencer. Crowe endured a challenging divorce from Danielle after nine years of marriage, during which they had two children. The breakup took a toll on the actor — he publicly discussed how he had extinguished love from his heart and had not found someone he wanted to marry in eight years.

The financial settlement of his divorce reportedly cost Crowe $25 million. Two reasons are cited for their split. One version suggests it was sparked by Spencer’s relationship with her partner on the Australian ‘Dancing with the Stars’. Another, more mundane explanation is Crowe’s demanding work schedule, which left little time for family. Recently, they were photographed on a stroll, presenting a united front.

What does the media know about his younger love interest? Theriot began her career in 2011 with roles in the Australian soap opera ‘Neighbors’ and later in the action film ‘Sin City’, before her breakthrough in ‘Pokerface’. Apart from acting, she also pursues music. Despite their significant age gap, the couple appears blissful together. Britney frequently shares photos with Crowe on social media, and they openly display affection at public events, embracing and kissing with joy. While some criticize Crowe’s choices, the actor himself, known for his lightheartedness about age and appearance, seems content with his personal life.
