5. Russell Crowe — South Sydney Rabbitohs

The bad boy of modern cinema, Russell Crowe was born in New Zealand, but lived most of his life in Australia, where he developed a passion for Rugby. Crowe turned that passion into an investment in 2006 when he became the co-owner of the South Sydney Rabbitohs of the National Rugby League. Crowe brings the same intensity to the Rugby pitch that he brings to the big screen, as he is known to be very involved with the team, sending out texts to players before their games in order to boost morale.
