Russell Crowe has claimed that he doesn't have a bad temper.
The actor landed himself in hot water last year after attacking a hotel worker with a telephone handset. He pleaded guilty to assault charges in November but escaped a jail sentence.
"I'm just a bloke. I don't think I'm quick to anger at all," Crowe told The Mirror. "Did you see the footage of me walking into the court building? Two hundred and fifty people and no controls. Absolutely barbaric.
"My wife got pushed, shoved and whacked with cameras. And I'm the one who's there for assault and having a temper? The unfairest thing about this is when you're just the little furry animal that gets run over on the road."
