Russell Crowe Denies Reports of Selling South Sydney Rabbitohs Stake
The actor dismissed speculation about offloading his 25% share in the NRL club, calling the rumors baseless.
- Russell Crowe has publicly refuted claims that he is seeking to sell his 25% ownership stake in the South Sydney Rabbitohs, labeling the reports as 'bulls---' in a statement and on social media.
- Media reports suggested Crowe had been exploring potential buyers for his share in the club, including interest from both Australian and U.S. markets, but these claims remain unverified.
- Crowe purchased the Rabbitohs in 2006 alongside Peter Holmes à Court for $3 million, with the club experiencing major successes since, including a 2014 premiership victory.
- The Rabbitohs endured a challenging 2024 season, finishing 16th with their lowest win total since 2006, but optimism surrounds coach Wayne Bennett's return for the 2025 season.
- Crowe emphasized his confidence in the team's future, describing a 'fresh energy' at the club while dismissing the sale rumors as 'legacy media conspiracy theories.'
