Russell Crowe is selling off his personal items in an auction called The Art Of Divorce.

And as you may imagine, the lots on sale are as diverse and rich as his films – not to mention an old leather jockstrap.

The programme cover shows Crowe somewhat humorously posing with an Old Fashioned cocktail and a tuxedo.
As he said on Australia’s Sunrise programme, he decided to give the auction a cheeky edge to ‘turn something that was a little bit bleak into something joyful.’
Russell Crowe’s mounted Dinosaur skull. Yup.
‘I don’t collect for the sake of collecting; I collect because I’m passionate about a particular subject.
‘Part of that collector’s passion is actually an excitement—that the next person who comes along and has the custodianship of a particular item is going to enjoy it and love it as much as I do.’
