RUSSELL CROWE, the actor dined at the EURO CAFFE, in Beverly Hills, with friends. After enjoying his meal, he biked away. Crowe was born in Wellington, North Island, New Zealand, but moved to Australia as a child, where he starred in a local TV show. He has dual Australian/New Zealand citizenship.

The GLADIATOR star stays in shape by riding his bike around Los Angeles. He is quoted on IMDB.com as once saying, “I’d move to Los Angeles if Australia and New Zealand were swallowed up by a huge tidal wave, if there was a bubonic plague in Europe, and if the continent of Africa disappeared from some Martian attack.”

I guess all that must have happened, because, here he is, living in LA, and apparently loving it.
