Russell Crowe looked loving with girlfriend Britney Theriot on Wednesday as the couple enjoyed a holiday to Italy with sons Tennyson and Charles.

The Gladiator star, 59, who recently revealed he is considering retiring from acting, was in love with his much younger girlfriend, 31, when they held hands and hugged on the street in Taormina.

Crowe looked casual in a black shirt and sweatpants, along with sneakers and mirrored shades of blue as he proudly posed with his family.

He shares Charles, 19, and Tennyson, 17, with ex-wife Danielle Spencer, who he was married to from 2003-2018.

Britney looked glamorous in a black one-shoulder top and gray joggers paired with sandals as she hugged her partner while shopping for souvenirs.

The actor was spotted browsing a local shop for some gifts before the family enjoyed an alfresco lunch.

This comes after Crowe revealed that he is thinking about finishing his acting career after four decades in the industry.

The Hollywood star revealed at the 57th Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic, that he is considering retirement, according to Variety.

Crowe noted that he was getting old in the business and pondered the next step in his career.

“You stand in front of the mirror and say, ‘Who the f**k is that?'” he told journalists at the festival.

‘I’m in that period now.’

The Gladiator star then weighed his options, noting that 85-year-old director Ridley Scott continued his work as he got older.

‘I take Ridley Scott as my role model: he is still discovering new things in his work. Or I’ll just quit and you’ll never hear from me again,” he continued.

“I haven’t decided yet what it’s going to be. These are two very valid choices.’

Crowe may also want to take a step back from Hollywood as he settles into his relationship with Britney Theriot, who also attended the Karlovy Vary Film Festival.

The 31-year-old was standing next to him as the New Zealand-born actor received a major honor on Friday.

Crowe won the Crystal Globe at the festival’s opening ceremony.

The couple have been inseparable in recent months and have traveled the world together.

Russell and Britney fly regularly between Sydney and Coffs Harbour, where the actor is building a $400 million movie studio called “Aussiewood.”

The Beautiful Mind star owns a 400-acre farm in nearby Nana Glen and splits his time between this estate and his home in Sydney.
