Crowe cut a casual figure in a black shirt and joggers, teamed with sneakers and mirrored blue shades as he proudly posed with his family.

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

Perusing: The star was seen shopping for souvenirs in a local shop

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

This comes after Crowe revealed he is thinking about winding up his career in acting 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’s considering retirement, according to Variety.

Crowe made note of growing old in the business and contemplated the next step in his career.

‘You are standing in front of the mirror, and go: ”Who the f**k is that?” he told journalists at the festival.

‘I am in that period now.’

The Gladiator star went on to weigh up his options, making note of 85-year-old director Ridley Scott continuing his work as he ages.

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

The 31-year-old stood right by his side as the New Zealand-born actor collected a major honour on Friday.

Crowe won the Crystal Globe during the opening ceremony of the festival.

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

Russell and Britney are regularly seen jetting between Sydney and Coffs Harbour, where the actor is building a $400million film studio dubbed ‘Aussiewood’.

He’s also known for other films like Ron Howard’s A Beautiful Mind (2001) and Man of Steel.
