Russell Crowe has spoken out about the tragic death of Lisa Marie Presley, saying the star was “too young” to die at 54.
Speaking to the Australian Today show on Saturday, the 58-year-old Oscar winner recalled how they met while working at Soundstage in Chicago in 2003.
‘Be a huge Elvis [Presley] fan, I came to be in the right place to meet her,” Russell said.

Russell, who was married to Danielle Spencer at the time, explained that the couple had a very nice chat, saying that she was “very sweet.”
She also described how they later reconnected when Lisa Marie visited Australia with her mother Priscilla.
“I just got a call one night, I was sitting in my office at [the Sydney suburb] Woolloomooloo, and I got a call saying, you know, ‘Hi Russell, I’m Lisa Marie. Do you want to go out for a drink?” she recalled.
Speaking to the Australian Today show on Saturday, the Oscar winner recalled how they met while working at Soundstage in Chicago in 2003. He also recalled a night in Sydney with Lisa Marie and Priscilla.
Russell said he immediately grabbed his then-father-in-law Don Spencer and reunited with Lisa-Marie and Priscilla.
“Actually, I think Don was doing really well with Priscilla, he didn’t realize, I think, how well she was doing, and kind of got distracted,” Russell said.
He then made the joke: ‘I tell my kids from time to time: ‘If you [grandfather] If we had stayed focused, we might have been connected to the Presleys.
Russell said he met Lisa Marie in 2003, shortly after his award-winning movie Gladiator came out and made him a huge Hollywood star. Appears in Gladiator (2000)

Lisa Marie died of a second cardiac arrest suffered while in the hospital. She passed away after the family signed a ‘do not resuscitate’ order on Thursday.
The only child of Elvis and Priscilla Presley, 54, was rushed to hospital Thursday morning after her housekeeper found her collapsed inside her Calabasas home.
EMTs who arrived at her home were able to revive her and her pulse returned, but by the time she arrived at the hospital she was brain dead, TMZ reported Friday.
The family rushed to his bedside, where he was in an induced coma and on life support. Learning that he was already brain dead, they signed the ‘do not resuscitate’ order before his second cardiac arrest.
His mother, Priscilla, 77, was at his bedside when he died.
“It is with a heavy heart that I must share the devastating news that my beautiful daughter Lisa Marie has left us,” Priscilla said in a statement Thursday night.
