Russell Crowe expecting baby boy

Russell Crowe has revealed his second child will be a boy.

The Oscar-winning actor announced the news on Jay Leno's US chat show. "Just for you," he said, "Charlie is going to have a brother." Crowe and actress wife Danielle Spencer's first child is a two-year-old boy.

The Kiwi also said he will be filming the delivery and told viewers Charlie understood a brother was on the way, and had been considering names. "His first option was Pumpkinhead," recalled Crowe. "But then the next day he changed it to Stinky."

The actor announced the pregnancy in January before the gender was confirmed.
