Rebel Wilson revealed that fellow Aussie actor Russell Crowe once hurled an f-bomb at her.
During a chat on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” last night, the brassy comedienne explained how she won the Nicole Kidman Scholarship while studying acting at the Australian Theater for Young People.
“Nicole paid for everything!” Wilson, 27, exclaimed. “An apartment, going to see Broadway shows…she doesn’t know about that.”
When Leno asked if she ever thanked Kidman, Wilson replied, “One time in Sydney I saw her having dinner with Russell Crowe and I go, “Ok. Now’s my chance. I’m going to say thank you.”
“But before I could say anything Russell Crowe just turns to me and says, ‘F–k off!’ just put my head down and walked away.”
Despite the Crowe-blow, Wilson appears to have no hard feelings. She’s also had a banner year with a breakout role in “Pitch Perfect” and will be hosting Sunday’s MTV Movie Awards.
The “Les Miserables” actor, meanwhile, last made headlines in March when he insisted he captured actual footage of a UFO. The Oscar-winner tweeted a link to his YouTube video of a sighting and wrote in shock, “UFO? Time Lapse Photos Outside RC’s Woolloomooloo Office (THESE ARE REAL!)”
