Crowe Trades in Meg for Ranch

Gladiator star and Academy Award nominee Russell Crowe told Melbourne’s Herald Sun that the reason he ended his six month affair with actress Meg Ryan was so that he could spend more time on his Australian Cattle Ranch. “The bottom line is, I have a big life here. When I’m off the hook with schedules, I have to come home. I can’t sustain myself through the course of a year without filling up on home and Meg needs the same. It’s rough being away from your dog for six months. That’s rough stuff, man,” he said. “Meg is a beautiful and courageous woman. I grieve the loss of her companionship, but I haven’t lost her friendship,” Crowe added. — netbroadcaster.com
