Viewers couldn’t handle seeing Russell Crowe on Britain’s Got Talent

Viewers need a good eye for talent on BGT but not everyone would have spotted Hollywood star Russell Crowe sitting in the audience during Tuesday night’s live show, sporting a bristling grey beard.

What I want to know is what is Russell Crowe doing in the #Bgt audience ???????? #Britainsgottalent pic.twitter.com/gKaNGxzPP6

Several did clock the Gladiator star though, seated alongside comic Jimmy Carr…

• Britain’s Got Talent viewers were missing Ant in first live show – but praised solo host Dec
• What did the Britain’s Got Talent winners do next?
• This is why Ant McPartlin isn’t presenting Britain’s Got Talent’s live shows

Although not all of them could quite believe their eyes…

Why is @russellcrowe watching #BGT ?
Why do I find this strange? My brain can't process this

Yes, yes it was. If you don’t believe us, ask the man himself…
