Russell Crowe may never have won a Grammy, but the Deranged star revealed that friend Ed Sheeran It helped him celebrate as an award-winning rock star one night on his farm.
In the Thursday episode of The Late Late Show, host James Corden asked his Oscar-winning guest to share a prized possession that the public would not normally see. Saying that he had prepared a list of items specifically for this segment, Crowe slowly lifted up a special trinket he bought at a public art auction: the Grammy Award given to Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, Jerry lee lewis and Roy Orbison for his album class ’55. The actor went on to talk about a special moment that he and one of his closest friends shared with the trophy.
“Ed [Sheeran] He’s been here on the farm a few times and one night we’re at the bar and he asked me where that Johnny Cash Grammy is, “he said.” I went looking for him and he said, “You know what to do with the Grammys?”
Crowe revealed that moments later, he and the singer poured Jack Daniels into the Cash Grammy and started shooting.
“That may be one of the best show business stories I’ve ever heard,” Corden replied to Crowe’s anecdote. “I bless you for sharing that.”
During the segment, Crowe also celebrated the 20th anniversary of Gladiator and talked about the laid back vibe behind the scenes while filming his next thriller Deranged, which will hit theaters on July 10.
