Except that his booze-fueled purchase for the kiddies happened at Leonardo DiCaprio's house. And he didn't pick up some Man in the Iron Mask action figures. He bought a freaking dinosaur head. And paid Leo about $35,000 on it.
As the actor, who's playing infamous Fox News executive Roger Ailes in Showtime's new series The Loudest Voice in the room, told Howard Stern, "I bought it for my kids, and you know, cut myself a little bit of slack here, there was a bunch of vodka involved in the transaction and it happened at Leonardo's house ." According to Crowe, back in 2008 or 2009 when his kids were really into dinosaurs, they'd been drinking at DiCaprio's when Crowe admired a Mosasaur skull that Leo was looking to unload TO MAKE ROOM FOR ANOTHER FOSSIL. So, The Gladiator star took it off his hands.
Crowe wound up putting the skull up for sale last year, along with his Cinderella Man jockstrap , as part of his "Russell Crow: The Art of Divorce" auction to help, well, pay for his divorce. Let's see an Edna Mode stuffie do that.
