The actor Russell Crowe has married long-time girlfriend Danielle Spencer in a traditional wedding on his Australian cattle property.
Oscar-winning Crowe has earned himself a reputation as a hard-drinking brawler, but yesterday, the star of the Gladiator and A Beautiful Mind, and frontman for grunge band Thirty Odd Foot of Grunt walked down the aisle dressed in an Armani suit.
Crowe, who turned 39 on his wedding day, exchanged traditional marriage vows with Spencer (32), a singer, dancer and actor, inside a specially built domed chapel on his farm at Nana Glen, about 400 km north of Sydney.
An official wedding video showed Crowe, with a wedding ring on his finger, and Spencer getting showered with confetti as they left the chapel arm-in-arm.
A trio of Harley Davidson motorbikes and a black utility truck accompanied the bride's black Mercedes and matching car of bridesmaids and flower girls to the wedding, and tonnes of sound equipment were hauled on to Crowe's property for a night of music and dancing.
