Crowe set for Neighbours special 

Russell Crowe is reportedly to star in a one-off special celebrating the 20th anniversary of Australian TV soap 'Neighbours'.

The 'Gladiator' actor appeared in an early episode of the long-running show in the late 1980s, playing the love interest of pop singer Kylie Minogue's character Charlene Mitchell.

And despite the fact his presence in 'Neighbours' was only fleeting, Crowe has reportedly agreed to feature in an upcoming TV show devoted to the soap because he recognises its vital role in the development of his career.

The programme also gave stars including Guy Pearce, Jason Donovan, Natalie Imbruglia, Delta Goodrem and Holly Vallance their first taste of fame.
