Russell Crowe might quit Hollywood

Russell Crowe

DEFIANT Russell Crowe is threatening to quit Hollywood over his phone rage court case.And the Gladiator star, whose trial for assault was adjourned yesterday until November, has vowed not to curb his explosive temper.

If he is convicted for throwing a phone at a New York hotel worker he faces up to seven years in jail and could be barred from working in the US. Even if he is found guilty of a less serious offence, he will face visa problems. But Crowe, 41, said: “Maybe it’s better I don’t travel to America. Maybe it’s better I don’t work in the area of the business that attracts so many flies.

“You tell me to p*** off too many times and I probably will. I don’t mind shrinking my professional life.” […]

He said: “They all want me to be examined by psychologists. I come from a different culture. If I’ve got something on my mind, you’ll hear about it. Voila, mental anguish solved.”

Okay, forgive me if I’m a little slow, but where exactly does the whole “hurling-phones-at-people” fit in? Is it before he speaks his mind or after?
