Russell Crowe was in Williamsburg, Brooklyn yesterday filming his new crime drama American Gangster about  a drug lord smuggling heroin into Harlem during the 1970s by hiding the stash inside the coffins of American soldiers returning from Vietnam. Russell, 42, plays real-life detective Richie Roberts, who busts up the Harlem drug ring. Denzel Washington also stars in this film.  And is it just me or does Russell have five pounds of make-up caked on his face?  Eeeew.  More pictures in the gallery!

Meanwhile back in Sydney, Austrailia, Russell’s wife Danielle Spencer
and 2-year-old son Charles Crowe enjoyed a day at the park.

Russell Crowe and his wife of three years, Danielle Spencer, strolled around their hometown Sydney, Australia, with their two-year-old son Charles Crowe.  KISSY, KISSY!! After the jump are pictures of Russell sporting a ’stache on the set of his new flick.  He was in New York last month filming his upcoming flick Tenderness, which co-stars Laura Dern (she plays the mother of a 16-year-old runaway girl) and is directed by John Polson.  Russell , 42, plays a policeman working to figure out whether a violent teen murdered his family or not.  Tenderness is set for a 2007 release.

Russell Crowe, 41, tries to keep up with 2-year-old son Charlie Crowe in Wellington, New Zealand, on Sunday. The proud papa – who’ll be a dad for the second time when wife Danielle Spencer, 35, gives birth this summer – was in his hometown over the weekend performing with his new band, The Ordinary Fear of God.  It’s recently been reported that all the New Zealand venues that were sites of concerts by Russell Crowe could face fines if he smoked on stage. It is already known that Crowe violated New Zealand’s Smoke-free Environment Act by lighting up at Wellington’s Ilott Theatre and Auckland’s SkyCity.  More pictures in the gallery!
