Russell Crowe Sings For Pub Then Leaves Huge Tip For Staff

Pin It

Sounds like a fun night out!!

Russell Crowe serenaded staff at a Welsh pub before leaving them over $900 for a tip.
The 45-year-old actor – who is in Wales filming his latest movie ‘Robin Hood’ – surprised locals when he took nine friends for a meal at the Carew Inn, near Tenby, last week.
The party ate mussels and a Jamie Oliver-inspired chicken dish before belting out Bryan Adams’ ‘Summer of ’69′ and Peter, Paul and Mary’s ‘Leaving On A Jet Plane’.

Where is the video?????????????????????????

When he had finished singing, Russell paid the $340 bill and returned to his trailer on the movie set, leaving a wad of bills on his table.
A member of staff said:

"Now if anyone badmouths him I tell them to shut up. He could have paid and just left but they stayed instead and entertained us.
"Then he paid us that tip – it’s the last thing you expect. He seemed quite friendly and chatty like a really nice guy, and he had a great singing voice."

Another staff member added:

"It was surreal. When they first got here they sat in the garden but people started trying to sneak around and take pictures of them so they moved inside. Two of them were some kind of bodyguards because they were walking around constantly, it was quite intimidating.

"But later he came into the kitchen and gave us all his autograph and we had a quick chat. Then he gave my boss the tip and they left. We were like, ‘Did that just happen?’ "

What a wonderful experience for everyone to have! I just LOVE hearing these stories.

    “Usually Russell Crowe is portrayed (both in the movies and in real life) as a wound up, non-fun tight wad”

    You heard wrong. Crowe has always been a very generous tipper. He’s been there, done that. He was a busboy once too.
    As for his portrayal in real life, every time I see him on Leno or Letterman he’s very funny and relaxed. He was the same on Oprah and Martha.

    Weird. Usually Russell Crowe is portrayed (both in the movies and in real life) as a wound up, non-fun tight wad. Good for him.

    Yeah, this is a nice change for him! (Is he promoting something?)

    I love stories like this! I also like how the staff member admitted they were prepared for it to not be as pleasant. It’s nice to see even some of the grouchier celebs are not like that 100% of the time.

    I love Russell, he keeps it real. Not everyone can have a plastered on smile and try to be politically correct all the time.
