Russell Crowe Says Michael Jackson Use To Prank Call Him

Michael Jackson's wanker antics once made Russell Crowe want to scream.

Crowe has revealed that the King of Pop tormented him by repeatedly prank calling his hotel rooms over a span of "two or three f--- years" during the peak of his Hollywood fame a decade ago.

"I never met him, never shook his hand, but he found out the name I stayed in hotels under, so it didn't matter where I was, he'd ring up do this kind of thing, like you did when you were 10, you know," the Aussie actor, 50, recalled to The Guardian.

"'Is Mr Wall there? Is Mrs Wall there? Are there any Walls there? Then what's holding the roof up? Ha ha,'"

Crowe said, mimicking the pop star's corny bit.

In fact, those "people" included the terrorist organization Al Qaeda, which apparently plotted to kidnap Crowe in 2001, The Guardian reported.

"I still really don't know to this day what the f--- that was all about. All I know is, I arrived in LA, got to my hotel, as I'd done umpteen times before, started unpacking, and there was a knock at the door and a team of FBI guys wanted to sit down and discuss something with me," the actor said.

"And then, for nearly two years, they were always around," he said.

"I remember going to the Golden Globes and having, like, 16 security guys with me. I don't even know why…and of course, people were like: 'Look at him, he thinks he's fucking Elvis,'" he said.

"And then one day they just weren't there anymore."
