LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Actor Russell Crowe caused abuzz on social media by unveiling a rare clean-shaven look in a recent photo, surprising many of his long-time fans. The image prompted numerous comments from users noting his seemingly youthful appearance compared to his actual age.

In a recent interview with People Magazine, Crowe also shared some behind-the-scenes mishaps from his filming experiences, shedding light on the extent of his dedication to his craft. Revealing a previously undisclosed detail, Crowe conveyed that during the production of 2010's 'Robin Hood', he persevered through the entire shoot despite secretly nursing two broken legs.

Opening up for the first time about the ordeal, which he referred to as a 'small mishap' a decade ago, Crowe confessed to enduring excruciating pain without complaint, unaware of the severity of his injuries until well after filming had concluded.

As reported by the Daily Mail, Crowe made waves online with a freshly shaved face, sparking speculation that he might have shed more than just facial hair, possibly years off his appearance as he from no angle appears to be his age i.e., 59. The 'LA Confidential' star took to social media on Monday to unveil his dramatically different new look.

Known in recent years for his distinguished silver beard, Crowe opted for a clean-shaven appearance, hinting at potential involvement in a new project in the caption alongside his picture, as reported by the Daily Mail.

Crowe revealed that this shave marked his first encounter with a razor in five years, sharing the transformation on the platform X, formerly known as Twitter.

In his accompanying caption, he humorously wrote, "The actor prepares #20. First shave since 2019."
