Gladiator star Russell Crowe breaks silence over infamous 2005 phone-throwing incident in New York City
Russell Crowe has candidly opened up on his infamous 2005 phone-throwing incident which saw the Australian film star charged with assault. Crowe, 61, spent six hours in jail before being charged with second-degree assault and criminal possession of a weapon after he threw a telephone at the concierge of New York's Mercer Hotel in 2005. The concierge, who was treated for a facial laceration, had refused to place a long-distance call to Crowe's then-wife, Danielle Spencer, in Sydney after the system did not work from the Gladiator actor's room. The NYPD were called and subsequently arrested Crowe before famously parading him around the streets of New York in handcuffs. The scene was splashed across the front of international newspapers. In a stunning turn of events, Crowe on Sunday featured footage of his arrest in technicolour in a film clip with his band The Gentleman Barbers. He reflected on his arguably darkest hour in the lyrics of the new hit Save Me, crooning: 'I pushed away my loved ones until I had nobody else.' 'I burned all of my friends like cheap sex and cigarettes in this hotel – who's going to save me, who's going to save me from myself?' Speaking to The Daily Telegraph, Crowe said although he regretted the 2005 scandal, his feeling of remorse had taught him an important lesson. 'I am a fan of regret,' Crowe told the newspaper on Sunday. 'I see it as a great teacher, so there's a lot of regrets based around that (incident), but it is nothing that I don't understand'. Crowe said that upon reaching his 60s, he can forgive his 'bad days' and championed his belief that people should embrace their guilt. 'I'm not at all one of those people that say you shouldn't have regrets, I absolutely respect regret…regret is one of the greatest processes. 'The thing is, with regret, you can't hang it on the wall like a painting, you know, it's more ephemeral, you see it, you recognise it and you move on, you grow, you get better, you get smarter with how you deal with things." After his arrest, a US judge conditionally discharged Crowe, who had pleaded guilty in a trial. He was fined but avoided jail time. The actor also settled a lawsuit filed by the injured hotel clerk, the terms of which are undisclosed, but reports indicate a six-figure sum was paid. Appearing on a US TV show in August 2005, the Oscar-winning actor said the hotel incident was "possibly the most shameful situation that I've ever gotten myself I've done some pretty dumb things in my life". He said the outburst was the result of "jet lag, loneliness and adrenaline". Crowe separated from Danielle Spencer in 2012 after 9 years of marriage, and their divorce was finalised in 2018. The pair share two sons, Charles Spencer Crowe, 22 and Tennyson Spencer Crowe, 19. Crowe reportedly married his American fiancée, Britney Theriot, in a discreet ceremony in London in April. The couple split their time between Sydney and Coffs Harbour, where Crowe is building a $400 million film studio, dubbed 'Aussiewood'. He also owns a 400-hectare property called Wild Guy Station in nearby Nana Glen and regularly retreats there when not filming.

Three charged over alleged Kew East home invasion and stabbing of man
A man and two teenagers have been charged with breaking into a family home in Melbourne's east and repeatedly stabbing a father multiple times after forcing his wife into a bedroom with her children. Police say five people smashed a large window to enter the home on Oxford Street in Kew East about 4am on Sunday. It is alleged they were armed with a machete, knife and garden shears when they confronted the husband and wife, demanding access to a safe before separating the couple into different rooms. The 39-year-old man was then allegedly stabbed 11 times in the face, neck and arms. His 70-year-old and 69-year-old parents were also in the home at the time and were hurt when they tried to help their son, suffering cuts to the arm and leg as well as facial injuries. The husband was taken to hospital with serious, but non-life-threatening injuries. The wife was treated for minor injuries, and the older couple were also taken to hospital. Two children, aged 2 and 3, and a fifth adult were not hurt. Police said four of the alleged offenders fled in the family's car, while the fifth left in the vehicle the group arrived in. The family's car was found in Deer Park, in Melbourne's west. Three males were arrested a short time later. A 24-year-old Caroline Springs man was remanded in custody to appear in the Melbourne Magistrates' Court on November 5. The teenage boys were both remanded to appear in a children's court at a later date. They've all been charged with multiple offences, including aggravated home invasion, intentionally and recklessly causing serious injury, false imprisonment and theft. 'I've never seen anything like this. This is awful,' Detective Sergeant Leeanne Trusler said on Sunday. She said the husband also had a broken arm and required eye surgery. She alleged it was a random attack. Police were still searching for the other two alleged offenders.
