Actor Russell Crowe, disgusted by media reports about him, revealed he's thinking on quiting Hollywood's movie business and return to his home country, Australia, if he will be found guilty on charges.
Crow, 41, had been arrested on July 5 for assaulting an employee of the Mercer hotel in Manhattan where he was staying. Around 4.20 am the actor got into a fight with one of the employees, Nestor Estrada, and threw the phone into the man's face, causing him physical damages.
Russell was officially charged with one count of second-degree assault and, if convicted, he could lose his right to work in the United States and could face up to seven years in prison.
Crowe admits he will be glad to quit Hollywood, after the way he was treated regarding the alleged incident.
He tells British newspaper the Daily Mirror, "Maybe it's better I don't travel to America. Maybe it's better I don't work in the area of the business that attracts so many flies.
You tell me to p**s off too many times and I probably will."
