  • Are You Aware Of Russell Crowe’s Divorce Auction?

    You know how, in the movies, you see that stereotypical scene of the woman throwing the man’s stuff out onto the streets, usually from an apartment on the second or third floor?

    For some reason she’s usually scantily clad, too, but we will leave that analysis for another day.

    Well the ‘flinging out the window’ method is one way of ridding yourself of the ex’s vibe, but you could always go the ‘divorce auction’ route.

    That’s what Russell Crowe is doing, flogging more than 200 items at a Sotheby’s auction he has dubbed “The Art of Divorce”.

    For real, though – take a look at the front cover of the catalogue, doubled up below for maximum effect:

    A celebratory drink in hand – the man isn’t mucking about. How about this gem via the Daily Beast:

    The Crowe sale will take place at Sotheby’s Australia on April 7, which, the auction catalogue says, is “a date of particular significance as it is both the actor’s birthday and wedding anniversary.”

    The catalogue states that the sale “represents the dispersal of a highly personal collection that was assembled by Crowe over many years, including those shared with his former wife, Danielle Spencer.”

    Here’s a pic of the pair from way back in 1992:

    At this point you’re probably thinking that the divorce was a messy one, but it turns out (at least publicly) that they’re both playing nice:

    The sale appears to be amicable and mutually agreed upon.

    “We’ve been separated over five years now, our divorce should be finalized [sic] around the time of the auction,” Crowe told Australia’s Daily Telegraph newspaper. “Just as we collaborate on the upbringing of our kids, it’s easy for us to work together on something like this. I think she feels the same way I do in regards to just moving on things that help create space for the future.”

    They divorced back in 2012 after nine years of marriage, although they have known each other for significantly longer than that.

    Keen to snap up a piece of the wreckage? Let’s look at what’s on offer:

    Among the items going under the hammer are the Doc Martens boots Crowe wore as a neo-Nazi in Romper Stomper, Maximus’s armor from Gladiator, and a fully functioning Roman chariot and prop horse from the same film…

    The most expensive piece in the collection is an 1890 violin that was used in Master and Commander and might go for as much as $140,000. The total value of the collection could be as much as $2.8 million.

    I salute whoever snaps up Maximus’ armour:
