Janet Charlton's HOLLYWOOD

Another grey beard making the wearer – in this case, Russell Crowe- look WAY less attractive. Remember, back in 2000, Russell and Meg Ryan costarred in Proof of Life and fell hard for each other. He was a hot commodity in those days. Meg left her husband Dennis Quaid for him! Eventually the infatuation fizzled out, but it was a huge tabloid scandal, and damaged Meg’s career by spoiling her good-girl image. The When Harry Met Sally star was considered to be “America’s Sweetheart.” Russell is 58 now -the same age as Brad Pitt, but he doesn’t look half as good as Brad, thanks in part to the grey beard. But he does have a young American girlfriend, Britney Theriot, 31, and they are in Rome together where he’s filming.
