Russell Crowe took his bike for a spin in Beverly Hills on Friday, and the Oscar winner is getting his body back for his new role in Man of Steel, where he plays Superman's biological father Jor-El.

"I'm doing a series of movies and they all require a skinnier version of me this time around unfortunately," Russell recently told The Daily Telegraph. "I think McDonald's have had a drop in their share price since I've been working out."

Russell has also taken to Twitter to give fans the scoop on his diet and exercise regimen, and yesterday he tweeted, "70 mins mix of trad weights and body movement with weighted objects, 20 km bike, now for a swim, sun is shining". Whew! That's a lot of lifting and cycling!

Russell Crowe got so angry when an interviewer said that he heard a "bit of an Irish accent" in the Australian Crowe's portrayal of the very English Robin Hood in the new Ridley Scott film, that he walked out in the midst of questioning!

"There are hints to me of Irish," BBC journalist Mark Lawson said in the above clip when talking about the character's accent in the film. "You've got dead ears, mate, seriously dead ears if you think there's an Irish accent," Crowe responded.

Then, Lawson asked if perhaps he was going for a "Northern English" accent. An annoyed Crowe said, "No I was going for an Italian, yeah. Missed it? F*ck me. Anyway."

Lawson tried to change the subject, asking Crowe about a new report that says he didn't want to deliver the famous Gladiator line, "I'll take my revenge in this life or the next," but by then Crowe had enough and got up to walk out, saying "I don't get the Irish thing by the way."

Celebs have known to get testy during pressers when you say the wrong thing. Mel Gibson called an interviewer an "a$$hole" during a presser for Edge of Darkness back in February, and Xtina got testy when someone dared to cough during a press tour for her new album!

At least Crowe didn't have a telephone handy...

We rarely see Russell Crowe out and about with his kids! And it looks like young Tennyson is dressed up as a cowboy - decked out in a hat and toy gun - for his day in the park with dad...

Sure, he might not be as charismatic as Kingston, but still a cute kid! Sidebar, who's excited to see Robin Hood next month?

Thoughts?!

We've got more of Russell Crowe on his bike.

He's like the winter version of Matthew McConaughey, right?

Russell Crowe keeps riding his bike in Beverly Hills... but maybe he should go for a jog instead?

Just a suggestion!

The Gladiator hunk - he's still a hunk, right? - was again spotted riding around on his bike in the BH the other day... good to know he's exercising regularly!

But is it working?

Everyone from Eva Longoria and Marc Anthony to Mario Lopez (with a new lady!) and Russell Crowe were in Vegas this weekend for the De La Hoya/Pacquiao fight! In case you didn't know, De La Hoya lost in a decision, but all the celebs who attended looked like winners! Eva Longoria and Marc Anthony looked mighty cozy...but where was Jennifer? I thought she and her hubby were joined at the hip!

She was probably up in a suite with the twins, right? They're not still claiming that they don't use a nanny though, are they?
