HOLLYWOOD actor Russell Crowe has paid another visit to York – and told his fans all about it.

The Gladiator, Beautiful Mind and Robin Hood star posted on twitter about his flying visit – including praise for the Blue Bicycle restaurant in Fossgate.

He told his 221,901 followers he was travelling, and said: “If you’re in York, visit the Blue Bicycle, nice food, great service, Guisborough here we come.” The star later visited Durham University and met drama students.

Gillian Cruddas, chief executive of Visit York, said: “We’re delighted to hear that Russell Crowe enjoyed his visit to York, in particular his visit to the Blue Bicycle. Twitter provides an excellent platform for visitors to interact and share their favourite experiences from their time in York.”

Crowe’s wife, Danielle, has family in Nether Poppleton and the couple have been regular visitors to the area.
