A grumpier-than-usual Russell Crowe today fled a BBC talk-show appearance when the host dared to suggest his Robin Hood accent featured "hints of Irish." Wrong, wrong, wrong, said Crowe. "You've got dead ears mate. You've seriously got dead ears if you think that's an Irish accent," he continued. "Bollocks ... I'm a little dumbfounded you could possibly find any Irish in that character. That's kind of ridiculous. It's your show. Whatever." Pressed further if he was going for Northern England, the Aussie spat, "No, I was going for an Italian, yeah. Missed it?" Toss in a few F-bombs and an early exit... you know, the usual. [Guardian]
