Russell Crowe challenged an Australian newspaper columnist to a cycle duel after she mocked a picture of him smoking and eating on a bike ride.

The piece, in Sydney's Daily Telegraph, was headlined "smokes and fatty foods the fitness regime for Rusty".

The Gladiator star then called the paper to challenge Annette Sharp to a 12-mile (19.3km) race through the city.

Video of the early morning duel showed Crowe speeding along with Ms Sharp struggling to keep up.

Russell has  always been  in  the tabloids...he  has  his  outbursts...but  he  is  a  good  actor/husband  and  father.
