Russel Crowe: Real Life Hero
Share this Story
If it wasn't for Russell Crowe, our little boy would be dead!"
Those tearful words of gratitude came from dad Geoff Cox, after "Gladiator" star Russell Crowe's concern for his 5- year-old boy helped the brave tyke survive two bites from one of the world's deadliest snakes.
Not only did the actor fund the local paramedics who rushed to the scene to treat Cox's son, but he also made repeated calls to check on the boy's condition.
"Russell kept calling and asking, 'How's the little fella doing? Give him my best. Tell him to hang in there,'" said Cox.
"My son George was hovering close to death, but whenever he regained consciousness, I kept reminding him, 'The "Gladiator" man wants you to get well!'
"He knows Russell as the 'Gladiator' man from watching his movie, and it melted my heart to see his little face light up when I mentioned that Russell was rooting for him.
"He smiled and said, 'Dad, when I get home, I wanna see the "Gladiator" man!'
"That's when I knew that he was going to make it."
Apparently Crowe went to the hospital when the child came out to see how he was.
Change of scene for Mr.Crowe indeed. After being a bit of a bad boy since the blockbuster movie Gladiator, with several fights and publicised scuffs with other people this is certainly going to broaden a lot of peoples horizons about this man.
