Crowe describes his father, who died in his hometown of Coffs Harbor, Australia, as “cool” and a “nice guy”. The 56-year-old said: He posted this, “because I know there are people all over the world who touch their hearts” and admire his father “with his sparkling eyes” and his “subtle manner”.

Crowe also reveals that his father has lived in Coffs Harbor for the past 25 years. The family was originally from Wellington, New Zealand, but moved to Australia when Russell Crowe was four years old. The actor’s parents worked as undertakers for film sets. The father also ran a hotel.
