Russell Crowe: I Stank Of Cigarettes
Russell Crowe The 46-year-old actor has two sons with his wife Danielle Spencer, Charlie, six, and three-year-old Tennyson. Russell has been a heavy smoker since he was 10 years old, but quit earlier this year.
He has now been smoke-free for almost two months, and is still marvelling at the way it has transformed his life. He says his young sons were so used to his habit, they thought cigarette smoke was his natural scent, and would often smell it in the street and assume he was nearby and hiding from them.
“Charlie called it Daddy smell. With Dani ,they'd walk past smokers on the street he'd say, ‘Mum, Dads here somewhere (sic),’” Russell wrote on his Twitter page.
Russell found quitting smoking much more difficult than he had anticipated. He posted messages on the social networking site daily for the first week, complaining of “wild dreams”, excess sweating and a hacking cough.
