Russell Crowe was a just a roo-hop away from leaving America and returning to the comfort of his Australian ranch after he was deeply disturbed by the attack on America. In perfect Gladiator style, he realized he was in charge of his life, not the terrorists responsible.

"I almost feel like retreating to my ranch in Australia. I guess that would be prudent. But I can't bring myslef to hide from this. I'm going about my business, mate. I won't let these b******s affect my life, threat or no threat," Russell spouted.
