Russell Crowe announces baby news

Gladiator star Russell Crowe and his wife, actress Danielle Spencer, are expecting a baby boy in June or July.

The couple had previously announced the pregnancy, but not the baby’s sex.

They shared the news with Jay Leno on The Tonight Show.

They already have a son, Charlie.

“Just for you,” Crowe told Leno, “Charlie is going to have a brother.”

Crowe said Charlie knows a brother is on the way.

“He knows where the baby is – in Mommy’s tummy – and knows that he was a baby once and there’s another baby coming along,” Crowe said. “And we said, ‘Bubba, what do you want to call your brother?’ and his first option was Pumpkinhead. But then the next day, he revised it and he changed it to Stinky.”

Crowe said he would be in the delivery room with a video camera when the baby is born.
