Russell Crowes Secret TikTok: Watch Obsession Revealed!

Fans have been left stunned after discovering has his own account, where the actor shares his avid passion for watches.

The Oscar winner, 61, recently took to the site to display some of the many luxury and exclusive timepieces in his extensive collection, leaving viewers gobsmacked as they recognised the Hollywood star.

Rather than use his famous monikor for his TikTok, the unverified account is called 'igp366', in apparent reference to his band, Indoor Garden Party, which he also posts about on the page.

Russell currently has 32.3K followers, while his bio simply reads: 'Hello I use this tik tok to talk about Indoor Garden party & watches. Hope you are happy and busy'.

The page sees the Beautiful Mind star proudly showing off some of his current favourite watches, including from the likes of classic brands such as, Rolex, Tudor and Omega, and worth all the way up to $60,000.

He begins the video by admitting: 'Now I’m not going to show you my entire watch collection. That would take quite some time because I’m literally obsessed and have been for a long time. But this is my current rotation.' 

Among the many lavish timepieces he showcases include the Rolex Daytona that he was seen sporting at Wimbledon in July and which retails for a whopping $40,600 (£30,000).

He raved in one clip: 'There’s just something about the Tiffany blue that really gets to me and what I love is if you wear this with a suit, whenever it sort of sneaks out from under the suit sleeve, it always draws people’s eye.'

And his childlike glee and deep passion for the niche hobby immediately won over fans, who voiced their delight to see such a huge A-list star being 'a genuine watch nerd'.

Taking to the comments and to social media, they praised: 'Russell Crowe going from Gladiator to watch vlogger is the kind of character arc nobody saw coming. The man stays interesting no matter what he does'.

'I love how unexpected this is! It's so cool to see him share a passion like this. Makes me wonder what other hidden talents celebrities might have!'

'Bro really went from fighting Tigers in the Colosseum to fighting for 1-of-1 allocations. The final boss of watch geeks.'

'Love seeing a legend like Russell Crowe just being a genuine watch nerd on YouTube. No PR. Just passion'; 'russell crowe just became the most interesting man in watches'.

'Forget the Oscars, give this man a Hodinkee column.'; 'I’m not even a “watch guy” but watching Russell Crowe be a “watch guy” gives me smiles.'

'Are you entertained? Oh yes we are.'; 'I like him even more now. It’s authentic. He really enjoys it. He is not showing off, but sharing with us. Very nice of him.'

While several viewers were distracted by several eye-catching objects in background of Russell's videos, most notably a golden Oscar statuette, as well as a SAG trophy and a GQ Global Icon of the Year gong.

Russell won the Academy Award for Best Actor in 2001, for his performance as Maximus Decimus Meridius in critically acclaimed film, Gladiator.

Fans couldn't help but laugh over the way the highly coveted and prestigious award was just haphazardly sat on a cabinet amongst several other miscellaneous items, and quipped: 'Casual Oscar in the background amongst the clutter'.

'Oscar just chilling in the background is a decent flex'; 'Is that Oscar hanging out in the clutter?'; 'His gladiator oscar just casually sitting behind him'; 'Damn. Flexing the Oscar'.

'Oscar in the back is a flex of flexes'; 'Just a casual Oscar in the corner'; 'There's literally an oscar in the background'; 'The OSCAR in the back'.

Russell has previously shown himself to be a serious horological enthusiast, and is rarely spotted on the red carpet without a stylish timepiece on his wrist. 

He was recently seen comparing watches with his co-star Rami Malek, at the premiere of their film, Nuremberg, in Los Angeles in November.

While he previously bonded with Ed Sheeran over their regard for luxury timepieces, sharing a snap of the pair proudly displaying their Giuliano Mazzuoli watches back in 2018.

And showing that as well as being an avid collector that he is also generous, fellow actor Liam Hemsworth revealed that Russell gifted him with Rolex right before the premiere of their film, Poker Face, back in 2022.

Speaking on the red carpet, Liam showed off the pricey timepiece, revealing it to be a Rolex Deepsea worth $20,000, as he gushed: 'He bought me this Rolex. I went over to his house tonight. He gave me this. He's a great friend. I love him'.  

While this is not the first time that he has shown off his favourites for fans, previously talking through several pieces on the YouTube channel, Time+Tide Watches in 2019. 

He first revealed the sheer scale of his watch collection with his infamous 'Art Of Divorce' auction back in 2018, which saw him sell $3.7million worth of movie memorabilia, art, musical instruments and jewellery.

The Les Misérables star held the highly-publicised exhibition as a way to deal with the end of his nine-year marriage to Danielle Spencer following their separation in 2012.

At the time, Russell said the 'highly personal collection' was started numerous years ago, with many of the 227 items listed collected during his failed marriage, and revealed his fondness for collecting.

He said: 'I am not sure when the collecting bug took hold. Maybe as a child with coins, or maybe with stamps, or maybe at around 11, with football cards'.

And among the items he sold were a whopping 24 watches, including pieces from Panerai, Breitling, Cartier and Chopard, which sold for a total of $269,500.

'Never had a flash watch as a kid. Certainly made up for it as an adult haha,' he tweeted at the time.
