Crowe blasts press lies
09/11/2006 - 19:35:07Russell Crowe has accused the media of exaggerating his violent reputation for dramatic effect.
The actor is open about the mistakes he has made - including an incident last year when he threw a telephone at a hotel employee in New York City but he is frustrated about reports he read that are untrue.
Crowe says: "There is a lot of just intentional misinformation, as well. I've never had a fight with a photographer, for example, but you can find hundreds of articles on the net which will list me fighting with paparazzi, something I do apparently on a regular basis.
"But that's just not true. I just don't bother letting it bug me anymore, and because it doesn't bug me, in this odd way, it happens less."
