His wife, Danielle Spencer, gave birth to
Charles Spencer Crowe Sunday night. The baby weighed 6 pounds 2 ounces, Crowe's
Australian publicist, Wendy Day, told Australian Associated Press.
Crowe married Spencer, a 32-year-old singer, April 7 at his sprawling rural
property of Nana Glen near the east Australian beach resort town of Coffs
Harbour.
The 39-year-old actor, who won an Oscar for "Gladiator," was nominated for a
Golden Globe Award last week for "Master and Commander: The Far Side of the
World."
If Crowe is nominated for an Academy Award, he'll skip the Oscars eremony to
stay at home and change his son's diapers, said his father-in-law, Don Spencer.
"That's what he says, I think he'll be a fantastic dad ... he's over the moon."
"It was very hard to get the baby from him actually," Spencer told
Australia's Nine Network. "We kept saying, `Has anyone else got a chance of
holding this baby Russell?' He said, `I'm bonding, I'm bonding.'"
