Russell Crowe described Durham as "gorgeous" when he attended the university to visit old friend Bill Bryson and meet the students. | |
The Gladiator and Robin Hood star came to talk to members of Durham Student Theatre (DST) after tweeting about a deal he made with Mr Bryson. | |
He said: "For me it was a point of honour. I said to Bill I was going do it and I wanted to fulfil that." | |
DST president elect Sarah Peters said it was a "real accolade". | |
Speaking to BBC Tees, Russell Crowe said: "We did a little vocal warm up, then I took them outside to do an exercise in leadership and using the space around you. | |
"Durham's gorgeous, and they tell me the weather is like this all the time so I'll be bringing the wife back." | |
Bill Bryson, chancellor of the university, said: "It's just unbelievable. | |
"It's the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me at least since my wife married me. | |
"He has found space in his life to do this, and not just to do it but to do it so well. It was an absolute inspiration to the students. | |
"He's given them 100% of his attention and all his energy. It was just fantastic" |
