Russell Crowe learns what Clickhole is in the most awkward way possible

Aussie actor Russell Crowe wasn’t best pleased when he spotted a news article about him using a fabricated quote last night.

“What is this rubbish?” he tweeted, “where does that quote come from?”

One catch: the article was from satirical website Clickhole, which makes up… well, basically all of its quotes. Which is kind of the point.

The Gladiator star has now deleted the tweet (although it can still be viewed on favstar, which archives old tweets), so it's safe to say he is now in on the joke.
