Rusty Confesses Yes, I'm In Love With Nicole!'
Woman's Day Australia|October 8 2018

The Aussie actress has given smitten Rusty a new lease of life.

Rusty Confesses Yes, I'm In Love With Nicole!'

When Russell Crowe learned he would be co-starring with none other than Nicole Kidman in his new movie, no one could wipe the smile off his face.

The NRL super fan is not shy to admit he’s been a long-time admirer of the Australian beauty.

And sure enough, the pair’s spellbinding talent and onscreen chemistry has proved to be a critical success with their new movie Boy Erased tipped to sweep the board at next year’s Academy Awards.

But Woman’s Day’s sources can reveal that it’s Russell’s overwhelming respect and love for 51-year-old Nicole that’s made the film so marvellous.

TOTAL ADORATION

Tongues are wagging that 54-year-old Russell – who’s known for the odd grumpy episode – has a new lease of life since acting alongside the Hollywood darling.

“Spending time with Nicole again has put a spring in Rusty’s step, and it’s no exaggeration to say he utterly adores her,” spills an insider.

“He is so picky about who he trusts and wants to be with these days, but there’s something about Nicole that makes him feel alive on every level.

“They’ve always been close but that bond has grown, and they’ve been spending a lot of time together on and off the set.

“Their closeness is noticeable, and it’s even got many people joking that they act like a real-life married couple!”
