Russell Crowe in talks to do a musical

Washington, Mar 31 (ANI): Russell Crowe could soon be showcasing his musical talents, for the actor is in talks to do a film where he might be required to hit the high notes.

The 'Gladiator' star has revealed that he's currently looking at a script for a new musical in which he may have to belt out a tune, just like fellow Aussie stars, Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman.

"There is a film that I'm looking at next year based on a book from an Australian writer which has a character within the book that plays in a band, so that's something I'm looking at the moment," Contactmusic quoted Crowe as saying.

Crowe had earlier fronted Aussie rock act 'Thirty Odd Foot of Grunt'. (ANI)
