Russell Crowe is looking to star in a musical.

The Gladiator star – who once fronted Aussie rock act Thirty Odd Foot of Grunt – is keen to follow in the footsteps of his fellow Aussies Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman by hitting the high notes on the big screen – and is currently eying up suitable scripts.

He reveals, “There is a film that I’m looking at next year based on a book from an Australian writer which has a character within the book that plays in a band, so that’s something I’m looking at the moment.”
