Radio host Lawrence Mooney has recalled his very bizarre encounter with Russell Crowe at the Hollywood actor's luxury suite at Sydney's Crown Towers.
The 56-year-old revealed on on Thursday how he ended up 'pretty stoned' and struggled to hold a conversation with Russell, 57, after being invited to his apartment one night with 12 other guests.
After eventually getting home, the comedian was lost for words when he awoke to find himself sleeping next to his dying dog who was wearing a South Sydney Rabbitohs cap.
Russell is a co-owner of the Rabbitohs NRL team.

'With one of the guests I shared a jazz cigarette [marijuana] and became very upended very quickly,' Lawrence said on air.
'I was, as the young people would say, pretty stoned.'
Lawrence, who had become 'ill from illegal drugs', recalled how he struggled to hold a conversation with Russell about his 2014 film Noah.
'I was staring at his head and it was like the bloody moon. It was massive and I couldn't take my eyes off it,' he said.

Lawrence went home when his wife Lou sent him a text explaining that their dog Rupert's health had worsened after receiving a round of chemotherapy for cancer.
He arrived back with two Rabbitohs caps, which were gifts from the club's celebrity owner, and fell asleep next to his pooch on the laundry floor.
'I lie down beside it for the night, fall asleep, can't go to work the next day, and wake up next to this balding dog that's in the throes of the final part of its life wearing a Rabbitohs hat from Russell Crowe,' he told his shocked co-hosts.
