Russell Crowe gifts 21-gear high-tech bike to co-star Elizabeth Banks
By ANIMonday, November 9, 2009
LONDON - Hollywood actor Russell Crowe was so eager to share his passion for cycling with co-star Elizabeth Banks that he bought her a state-of-the-art bike.
The duo is playing husband and wife in their new film ‘The Next Three Days’, which is about a woman wrongly accused of murder.
The actor used his time off set to cycle around the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania location, and he wanted Banks to join him so he bought a 21-gear superbike.
However, she insists she was the wrong choice of cycling partner.
“Russell Crowe’s an avid cyclist and he wanted to share it with me so he bought me this beautiful mountain bike,” the Daily Express quoted her as saying.
“It was super hi-tech, 21 gears. The thing is, I’m not very athletic. I had to watch YouTube videos to learn how to change gears,” she added. (ANI)
