Russell Crowe gets his Hollywood Walk of Fame star

Academy Award winner Russell Crowe was honoured with a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame on Monday.

The actor was joined by his wife Danielle and kids, Charlie, 6, and Tennyson, 3, at the glittering event, reports The Sydney Morning Herald.

Crowe had turned down the star several times before, but now believes at 46 and with two Oscar nominations and one win behind him, he now has a big enough filmography to justify the honour.

Crowe and Spencer married in 2003 after dating for two years. The couple originally dated in the early Nineties after co-starring in film The Crossing together, before reigniting their romance in 2001 after Crowe split from Meg Ryan.
