Russell Crowe Not Banned from Bar

According to reports in the British tabs, which have been picked up and repeated across the globe, Russell Crowe has been banned by a bar named The Brickmakers, located an hour outside of London in Windlesham, where he is filming “Robin Hood.”

So what reportedly happened? A local told The Daily Mail, “He offered money to be allowed to keep drinking after closing time.” But when the pub refused, according to the paper, the actor started an argument. “Eventually he left,” The Daily Express quoted a manager at The Brickmakers as saying, “but not before smashing a plate.”  The manager added, “He’s been asked not to return.”

There’s a very good chance Crowe will never be seen at that bar – because he’s never set foot in it before. Not only does his press agent swear the story is a “total fabrication,” but he also notes that Crowe “has never ever been to this place.”

Maybe some locals had too many when telling the story.
