Crowe to join bike design team

Posted : 16-02-2007

Oscar-winning actor Russell Crowe will be appearing on an episode of the custom-bike-building reality TV series American Chopper, currently being filmed in Australia.

The motorbike enthusiast will team up with Paul Senior, Paulie and Mikey Teutul when they tour the country in order to gain inspiration for an Australian-themed vehicle, according to One News.

By appearing on the show, Crowe will follow in the footsteps of fellow actors Bill Murray and Will Smith when he brainstorms with the gang at his farm in Nana Glen, Coffs Harbour.

And Paulie, who can often be seen on the show arguing with his dad Paul Senior, called the prospect of hanging out with the Gladiator star "cool".

"I am definitely a fan… I do like his movies" he told the AAP.

"[We'll] kind of shoot the breeze. It will be great to get his input," added the 32-year-old.

In 2004, an American Chopper video game for the Xbox was released in which players could join the Teutuls build the famous motorbikes and ride them.
