Russell Crowe shares the wealth!

38-year-old Denise Yarde received £5,000 (roughly $8,200) from Crowe after he heard about her ordeal. At first he cracked a joke about her situation but Yarde set him straight!

Denise quipped: “Well I suppose it’s OK for you Russell. You’ve probably never had to worry about finding five grand for a new car.”

He felt bad because he had not meant to hurt her feelings so he handed her a wad of cash so she could buy a proper car. Denise purchased a 2007 Saab and very graciously gave the big star a huge hug!

A film insider said: “Denise’s job involves dressing like an extra and getting right in the middle of the action to pick up the dialogue, so without her there was no filming for a few hours.

“By the time she got to work everyone knew what had happened and she came in for a bit of mickey-taking for driving an old banger.

“Russell joined in with some of it and she took it in good heart. But at one point, after she said about him never having to worry about buying a new car, Russell went quiet and everyone thought that was the end of it.

“Then later in the afternoon he sought Denise out and gave her the five grand.

“It was a lovely gesture by Russell, who is known on the set for his generosity.”

I don’t think he intentionally made fun of her but he more than made up for it.

Gotta love this guy!!
