Russell Crowe Likes 'Em Thick and Juicy

We spotted an interesting casting call notice for Ridley Scott's upcoming Nottingham project in Saturday's edition of Page Six.

Apparently, producers replaced Sienna Miller as Maid Marian because she's too "young and gorgeous" and instead are "looking for an older, plumper actress to play the role so [star Russell Crowe] doesn't look like a paunchy grandpa. Someone in her late 30s or early 40s."

Also, interested parties should know that the role will likely involve frequent make-out sessions with both a Good and an Evil Russell Crowe, who is slotted to play the duel roles of Robin Hood and the Sheriff of Nottingham in his fifth collaboration with Scott. [NY Post]
