London, May 12 (IANS) Hollywood actor Russell Crowe shocked his co-stars on the set of “Robin Hood” when he threw a log at visiting royal Prince Andrew.
Prince Andrew, British monarch Queen Elizabeth II’s second eldest son, visited the set of Sir Ridley Scott’s film “Robin Hood” in Windsor Great Park.
“I’m happy he caught the log. It was an instinctive thing - it’s like when you are playing sport. I threw it where he had the best possible chance of catching it. The thing is, if I’d thrown it too hard I’d have made a complete jerk of myself, and it wasn’t about doing that,” contactmusic.com quoted Crowe as saying.
“It was about showing a group of Englishmen, who were a little bit overawed with their prince being there, that’s he’s a bloke and is ready for a bit of fun.”
After spending time with Andrew, Crowe admits he was impressed with the royal’s sense of humour.
“I really liked him. He’s smart, knowledgeable and very inquisitive. He told a funny story too. He said, ‘I was having dinner with my mother, and I asked her if it was appropriate that I wear a suit when visiting the film set,” he added.
