Golden Globe winner Russell Crowe missed the awards to instead stay at home to help fight the Australia bushfires.

 

Russell Crowe has used his Golden Globe win to highlight the "tragedy unfolding" as bushfires continue to ravish Australia.

 

The New Zealand-born star, who has lived most of his life in Australia, won Best Actor for the Showtime series "The Loudest Voice".

 

However he missed the event to instead stay at home to help fight the fires, sending an impactful message on social media.

 

In a video shared to his Twitter page, Crowe showed the details of his truck for "when things get crazy", containing a water tank, fire blankets, spare hoses and other firefighting equipment, along with his shiny Golden Globe on the seat inside the vehicle.

Well done. Nobody needs those leftie awards anymore, fighting fire is what real men do. Use the trophy to whack small fires, something useful at least.

Pity Rusty didn't heed Ricky Gervais opening plea to not use the awards as a political platform.  As Gervais so astutely observed, Hollywood knows nothing about the real world.  

 

I hardly think talking about a natural disaster doesn't need a lot of knowledge, just a brain.  Ricky Gervai's was referring to comments made when receiving an award, not to a winner posting on social media from his home
