Crowe co-star understands temperamental star

Russell Crowe's Cinderella Man co-star Fulvio Cecere has offered the temperamental superstar his support following his phone-throwing tantrum, but admits Crowe is a difficult guy to deal with.

Cecere, who plays a referee in the boxing drama, admits he can understand why Crowe lost his cool while staying at New York City's Mercer Hotel - the actor has an edgy side to him which makes him difficult to communicate with.
