Russell Crowe shoots down bad breath and body odour claims

Russell Crowe has slammed reports suggesting he stank while making the 2005 boxing drama Cinderella Man.

A source spoke up about how his co-star Renee Zelwegger refused to shoot intimate scenes with the Oscar winner because his breath was rank and he reeked of body odour, and so she asked to film with a body double.

Crowe has shot down the claims on Twitter and also dismissed a report which suggested director hired Ron Howard hired a real-life professor to double for Crowe in A Beautiful Mind.
