Russell Crowe, 59, steps out with lookalike brother Terry and mum Jocelyn in Rome after dropping retirement bombshell
Russell Crowe was spotted stepping out in Rome as he continued his lavish family vacation on Tuesday.
The Gladiator actor, 59, appeared in high spirits while leaving his swanky hotel alongside lookalike brother Terry and mother Jocelyn.
Russell cut a casual figure in a black polo shirt which he teamed with jeans and a pair of mirrored aviator shades.
He was followed by his sibling who sported a matching beard and beloved mother who was aided with a walker.
In 2021 Russell announced the death of his 85-year-old father John Alexander Crowe calling him the ‘most gentle of men’ after moving back to his native New Zealand to care for his parents amid the pandemic.

It comes after the Oscar winner revealed he was thinking about winding up his career in acting after four decades in the industry.
The Hollywood star revealed at the 57th Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic, that he’s considering retirement, according to Variety.
He made note of growing old in the business and contemplated the next step in his career.
‘You are standing in front of the mirror, and go: ”Who the f**k is that?” he told journalists at the festival.
‘I am in that period now.’
The Gladiator star went on to weigh up his options, making note of 85-year-old director Ridley Scott continuing his work as he ages.
‘I will take Ridley Scott as my role model: he is still discovering new things in his work. Or I will just stop and you will never hear from me again,’ he continued.
‘I haven’t decided what it’s going to be. These are two very valid choices.’
Last week Russell and his stunning girlfriend Britney Theriot, 31, enjoyed some alone time with romantic boat trip in Venice.
