Russell Crowe opens up about tragic loss of puppy
Russell Crowe has opened up about the grief he’s endured from the death of his beloved puppy Louis the Papillion.
In an appearance on the Kyle & Jackie O Show, the actor introduced his new furry friend Ezekiel to the hosts, which was quickly met with the radio titans asking how he dealt with the loss of his other dog.
"At first we were both like well he's irreplaceable, we can't get another puppy," Crowe said. "That was just a really difficult hole to fill.”
"We put so much emotion into that little dog and then he died as tragically as he did," he continued.
"The only way we could really stop that from being so harsh was to get another puppy.”
Later in the interview, the star revealed that he had the dog flown over from South Australia to Sydney in a private jet.
"I'm dealing with Britney whose level of grief was so deep that yeah I put her on a little jet and sent her to go see the dog, then she picked up the dog and came home," Crowe admitted of his girlfriend's pain.
"I know it makes me look like a bit of a tosser but you know it's about 'what do I need to do right now to help Britney’."
His tragic confession comes just two months after Louis the Papillion’s death.
