Something to Crowe about as star delights fans

Russell-mania descended on Dublin last night, as throngs of people gathered outside the Savoy cinema to catch a glimpse of Hollywood actor Russell Crowe.

Fans of all ages crowded the barriers hours before the event, and were rewarded for their efforts when the A-lister stopped to sign autographs and pose for photos.

While the actor took to Twitter yesterday to express his frustration at constant interviews, he seemed in good spirits on the red carpet.
