When manly man Russell Crowe isn't bashing in the heads of hotel desk clerks, he likes to relax by picking out a nice pair of capris or filling his basket with toilet paper and Hot Pockets. "I love going shopping...I can do the supermarket in six minutes. I can pick out the first nine things my wife would like to try on. I'm not bragging; it's fact. I have retail-therapy issues. But I am cool with that. I shop with a big smile on my face." Crowe doesn't mention whether the big smile is from getting a discount on a family-pak of lunchmeat or from knocking back a pint, but it's impressive nonetheless.

In an interview with Men's Journal, Russell, currently starring in American Gangster, confesses his love of all things retail.  "I have a black belt in it. My wife [Danielle] really appreciates that in me. Whatever you need, mate, I'll get it."  Looks like you'll find this Gladiator in your grocer's freezer.
