Russell Crowe has infuriated bosses behind his new movie Robin Hood — by demanding to be flown by helicopter from Windsor to Wales every morning to film the flick.
The Aussie actor is said to be against the idea of staying near the set in Cardiff when filming begins next week.
So Crowe has insisted producers arrange flights costing thousands of dollars a time to transport him from the Windsor mansion where he is living. He is asking to be picked up each morning from the gardens of the sprawling home and flown back at night after filming ends, according to British newspaper the Daily Mirror.
Russell’s demands haven’t gone down too well with director Ridley Scott.
And reports earlier this week claimed that Ridley and Crowe — who teamed up for the Oscar-winning movie Gladiator – were refusing to talk to each other, forcing producers to fly to Britain from LA to mediate between the pair.
“The producers had to fly in because Russell and Ridley won’t talk to each other,” an insider told the New York Post. “Every time they stop filming, it costs the production millions of dollars.”
