Russell Crowe has had another bad encounter with a journalist.

He’s walked out of a chat, after being told he had made Robin Hood sound slightly Irish.

Crowe swore at the accuser – telling him “you’ve seriously got dead ears”.

“You’ve got dead ears mate, you’ve seriously got dead ears if you think that’s an Irish accent, **CURSE**” he said.

“I’m a little dumbfounded that you could possibly find any **CURSE** Irish in that character, that’s kind of ridiculous”.

When the interviewer asked him if he was going for a Northern English accent, Crowe replied “No, I was going for an Italian”.
