Russell Crowe — the Academy Award-winning star of cinema epics like A Beautiful Mind and Gladiator — was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Monday.
The Australian-raised actor was honored with the 2,404th star on Hollywood Boulevard on the cloudy afternoon Hollywood dubbed Russell Crowe Day. The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce held the ceremony under a tent to fend off the approaching rain.
Avatar’s Sam Worthington, Tonight Show host Jay Leno, director-producer Ron Howard, and Crowe’s wife Danielle and their sons Tennyson, 3, and Charles, 6, were on-hand for the ceremony.
“It was pouring rain this morning and Russell Crowe made one phone call. The sun has come out,” Leno cracked to the crowd.
