Russell Crowe And A Trip To Gander... Throwback Thursday (54/365)

Recently a fan shared an article on Twitter about when Russell Crowe had a stop over in Gander, Newfoundland in 2014 and the Twitter banter that followed between him, Alan Doyle and Allan Hawco.

Russell joked about the non-existent crowds in the Gander airport that didn't come to see him and said he was disappointed his Newfoundland friends didn't make the four hour drive to visit him. He finished the Twitter banter by posting some selfies.

I have copied a screen shot of one of those selfies below. The screen shot is from the official Russell Crowe Twitter account no copyright infringement intended.

GANDER, N.L. – Oscar winning actor Russell Crowe was briefly in Newfoundland on Sunday and pined for absent friends through Twitter.

Crowe tweeted out to his friends Alan Doyle of the band Great Big Sea and actor Allan Hawco that he was disappointed to land in Gander and that the pair didn’t drive to meet him, adding: “Guess I’m partying alone.”

The three appeared together in the television show The Republic of Doyle in 2012 after Doyle and Crowe became friends.

Crowe also tweeted out selfies with no one in the background, joking that he was “Battling through the crowds for my public appearance in Gander, Newfoundland.”

The actor has more than 1.6 million followers on Twitter.

“I love Newfoundland …. just sayin’. Wish I could be here longer,” he tweeted before leaving.
