A technician working on the set of Robin Hood now has Crowe to thank for his kind gesture.
Denise Yarde was on her way to the production set when her car caught fire. When she finally arrived at work and told her friends the story, the actor made a few unappreciated comments to which Yarde responded, "Well I suppose it’s ok for you Russell. You’ve probably never had to worry about finding five grand (£5,000) for a car."
According to Britain’s Sunday Mirror, Crowe started to feel sorry and later came back with a wad of cash, saying, "There you go. You can buy a £10,000 (about US $16 500) car now."
"It was a lovely gesture by Russell, who is known on the set for his generosity," said a source.
