Oscar winner Russell Crowe's anger is well documented by his many encounters over the years, but some hinted that his recent engagement would make him more docile. Apparently not.

Word out of Australia is that Crowe proposed to longtime girlfriend Danielle Spencer over Italian food at a posh Sydney restaurant on November 26. At the time, Crowe allowed the restaurant's staff to take pictures to commemorate the occasion, but quickly changed his mind. According to reports, he went back to the restaurant on the following Monday and demanded the pictures and negatives so that he could destroy them.

I guess he didn't want another Princeton 'flipping the bird' fiasco to erupt.
