The Russell Crowe incident in front of the fans in Paris

Russell Crowe was caught on video outside his hotel in Paris, being really, really not in the mood for a crowd that was being pushed around him. The crowd of fans tried to get a little too close to the comfort zone of the star, who refused to be quiet and decided to put them on the spot.

Crowe turned to the crowd and made it clear to them: “Stay where you are, don’t push the hell out of me. I’ll come to you. Give everyone Spice.” If this stern warning wasn’t enough, he even threatened: “As soon as someone acts like an idiot, I’m flying out of here. Was I clear?”

For those who expected that after the scolding things would calm down, spoiler: it didn’t happen. Crowe kept a serious and detached expression on his face, and things got even more awkward when one fan dared to ask for a special autograph and was flat-out refused.
