Russell Crowe Jokes About ‘Sodomizing’ Co-Star During ‘Romper Stomper’ Shoot

Russell Crowe made a joke about “sodomizing” his co-star in the 1992 movie “Romper Stomper” at Wednesday’s Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts Awards, in a riff that was cut from the broadcast version of the ceremony.

“I just want to talk about what binds us together. There’s two things really. One is an abiding passion for our pursuit and the other is sensitivity,” Crowe said as he took the stage to introduce the Best Asian Film of the Year, according to The Daily Beast. 

But his remarks about “sensitivity” in the industry in the wake of widespread accusations of sexual misconduct soon went wildly off course.
