Can’t get enough: Russell Crowe returns to Malta days after movie premiere
This is Crowe's third time visiting the island in just a few months!

After sharing another cryptic Tweet, it’s been confirmed that Hollywood legend Russell Crowe has visited Malta once again. 

Russell’s Tweet was composed of an image of Malta’s idyllic Munxar Point and a caption that reads: ‘Where am I now?’

Johann Grech, Malta's Film Commissioner, confirmed these suspicions after posting a selfie with Russell at what looks like a restaurant.

"Russell Crowe is back in MALTA! Always an honour to see you return to Malta for the third time in a few months. Each time speaking about our potential in the global film industry. Russell Crowe, you have become a constant mentor to our journey in creating a world-class film industry in Malta," he wrote.  

Crowe last visited the islands to shoot his latest film, ‘Prizefighter: The Life of Jem Belcher’, which premiered on Amazon Prime earlier this month. 

 

‘Prizefighter’ is based on the 19th century tale of a young boxer who fought his way to become the champion of England. 

The film features some gorgeous shots of Malta’s sea and historic forts as well as a handful of Maltese actors.
