Russell Crowe apologizes for naked woman pic posted by twitter hacker

Russell Crowe has claimed that his Twitter account was hacked to send out a bizarre picture of a naked woman's pubic region.

The stock image, which alludes to a hairstyle worn by some Orthodox Jewish men, has since been deleted, News.com.au reported.

His management told news.com.au the actor's account was hacked to send the unauthorised image.

Crowe later addressed the issue, telling followers that he was totally unaware of the incident.
