Russell Crowe slams romance rumours in Woman’s Day

Russell Crowe has taken to Twitter to slam rumours he was in a relationship with young Australian up-and-comer Sophia Forrest.

Woman’s Day has reported the pair are in a “serious” three month relationship and that he and Sophia were “smitten” with one another.

"He's completely smitten. I think even Russell is quietly amused no one has realised what's going on," the publication reported.

The 53-year-old tweeted on Monday: “Dear @WomansDayAus can you not stuff your s*** filled pages with deliberate lies about relationships I've never been in ? Thanks in advance.”

The source even claimed that the Hollywood star had introduced Sophia to his two sons, Charlie, 13, and Tennyson, 10, who he shares with ex-wife Danielle Spencer.

Russell also threatened to “go all @RebelWilson on your ass @WomansDayAus.”

Rebel Wilson won a defamation case against Bauer Media recently over a series of Women’s Day articles in 2015. The payout is expected to be multi-millions.

Love Child actress Sophia and Russell worked together on the 2014 film The Water Diviner.

Russell is friends with Sophia's father, mining mogul Andrew Forrest.

The latest rumours about Russell’s love life come after months of speculation linking him to Terri Irwin. Both have flatly denied the rumours.
