The latest addition to Russell Crowe’s long list of accolades is six-feet tall, wrapped in armour, and edible.
On Thursday, the 59-year-old actor shared a photo of a statue crafted from chocolate and modelled on his Gladiator strongman Maximus – the role for which he won his only Oscar.

“Some people get statues made of bronze,” Crowe wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter). “Some in marble. In Malta, they have me made out of … chocolate!!!”

Crowe also advised his followers: “I will be available to eat.”

The sculpture appeared on Saturday at the annual Hamrun chocolate festival held in central Malta, an event which reportedly drew 25,000 visitors last year.
