Russell Crowe's head is definitely growing like Pinocchio's nose as he decides to go off on BAFTA Awards producer Malcolm Gerry for cutting his speech off.

When the award-winning actor was giving yet another acceptance speech, this time for the Best Actor Award presented by BAFTA, he recited a poem. As the speech ran too long, Malcolm cut the speech. This was not acceptable by The Insider.

A little while later, two men came up to Malcolm and escorted him to a small, dark room where Russell was waiting. Gladiator boy pushed Malcolm against the wall, jabbed his finger in his face and told the producer a piece of his mind.

"I don't give a f*** who you are. Who on Earth had the f***ing audacity to take out the Best Actor's poem? You f***ing piece of shit, I"ll mke sure you never work in Hollywood," Russell claimed as he bolted out of the room.

Who shouldn't be working in Hollywood?
