Russell Crowe defends autograph interaction with professional sellers

Russell Crowe has defended his viral interaction with autograph seekers outside a hotel, explaining he simply wanted an orderly process to ensure everyone got what they wanted while he made his flight on time. The actor addressed criticism of his language and approach, noting that many people seeking autographs were professional sellers rather than genuine fans. Autographed memorabilia from Crowe ranges from $50 for basic signatures to $370 for Gladiator-related items, with sellers often requesting personalised signatures to increase resale value.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
