Although the Oscar winning actor professed his genuine love for his Jewish friends, he has expressed his desire for them to stop this tradition that is backed up by centuries of faithful following.

Crowe writes. “ I love my Jewish friends. I love the apples and the honey and the funny little hats, but stop cutting your babies. I will always stand for the perfection of babies. I will always believe in God, not man’s interpretation of what God requires. Last of it, if you feel it is your right to cut things off your babies, please unfollow and f—off. I’ll take attentive parenting over barbarism.”

Eli Roth, comes to Russell Crowe’s defence saying the actor is a great person and respectful of all religions and is not anti-Semitic as most publications have been suggesting due to Crowes unguarded thoughts.

Taking it upon his good side, Russell deleted his previous tweets and posted an apology. His tweet now reads, “ I have a deep and abiding love for all people of all nationalities. I’m very sorry that i have said things on here that have caused distress. My personal beliefs aside, I realize that some will interpret this debate as me mocking the rituals and traditions of others. I am very sorry.”

It was a family affair as the Australian actor was given his own prestigious star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame. Russell, who turned 46 this month, was surrounded by family and friends on April 12 when he was honored in Hollywood, California.

Russell and his wife Danielle Spencer, as well as their two sons Charles and Tennyson posed for photographers, while Russell’s friends cheered him on.

Comedian Jay Leno, producer Ron Howard, and actor Sam Worthington were among the celebrity friends who came to support Russell.

His newest movie, Robin Hood, is opening on May 14 in the US, but Russell is already warning fans not to expect the iconic Robin Hood tights.

“There are no tights in this film,” he told Reuters. “They weren’t invented until quite a few hundred years after when the story takes place. We start our story in 1199. Tights don’t come into play until the 1600s. I do apologize to those who will be disappointed that there are no tights.”

LOL, mate!

The Oscars have just been held and it's time to make movies for next year's awards. Popular leading lady Cate Blanchett might just find herself a nominee if she pulls off her role as Maid Marion in a new version of Robin Hood. Who is her leading man? None other than Russell Crowe. Should be interesting.

Stamp collectors have some new Australian stamps to add to their collection - those with the faces of Nicole Kidman and Russell Crowe immortalized in them. Oh yeah, Cate Blanchett and Geoffrey Rush have their own stamps, too. I wonder how much these stamps will cost years from now?
