Russell Crowe is under fire for an inappropiate joke he made on Wednesday?s Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts Awards.
Crowe told a joke about ?sodomizing? his co-star in the 1992 movie ?Romper Stomper.?
Crowe's riff was cut from the broadcast version of the ceremony.
The actor was trying to talk about sensitivity in acting and recalled a story about him and actress Jacquie McKenzie shooting a love scene.
Crowe is taking flack for the joke.
McKenzie has stepped up and defended Crowe. She said the situation is one they laugh about today.
