Famous Smoker: Russell Crowe Quits Smoking for his Kids
Well known Australian actor Russell Crowe decided to quit for good when he was caught smoking by his son.
“[I was] smoking 40 on an easy day, but on a day when I would be up at 4am and still up at midnight, then it was 60-plus and it just got to the point where my body was telling me I had to stop,” Crowe said.
Crowe successfully hid his smoking addiction from his sons Charlie, 7, and Tennyson, 4, for years. It was sheer bad luck when the elder one caught him red handed. Caught puffing by his son somehow provided the Gladiator the motivation he needed to quit smoking.
“The reality break was that my kids never saw me smoke…. I was in my office … and I thought I heard my office door open and I looked around and couldn’t see anything, so I had my cigarette. Later on I lean over to put my cigarette out and he was lying between the couch and the table and he very definitely saw me having a smoke. And that was my very last one.”
Good for him. Kids shouldn’t be made to suffer from passive smoking. Passive smoking can be as bad as smoking first hand.
