Crowe disagrees with character's cash decision

Russell Crowe would have no qualms about keeping $1m (€680,000) if he ever came across that amount of abandoned cash - unlike his character in new movie 'American Gangster'.

The 'Gladiator' star, 43, admits he would be more than happy to keep such a large amount of cash, instead of handing it over to authorities as Richie Roberts does in the Ridley Scott-directed film.

He says: "If there are no attachments and I'm not required to do anything, then I'm not giving it to anybody. I'm spending it, mate! Are you crazy?"
