Russell Crowe's shaggy shocker: 'My <i>Noah</i> wigs were all made from my own hair'

Russell Crowe has revealed the real miracle behind his biblical flick Noah — and it's a hairy confession indeed.

The Aussie actor confessed to the Kyle and Jackie O show this morning that he wore wigs made of his own hair for Noah's numerous hairstyles in the movie. Listen above to hear how he recycled his post-Robin Hood 19.5-inch ponytail!

It's just a bit creepy that one of the wigs was made from Russ' Master and Commander hair — the movie was made in 2003. Well, we guess some people would pay a lot of money for a curl of Rusty's locks…

Noah topped the Australian box office with a whopping $4.5 million on its opening weekend. The blockbuster epic debuted at the top of the US box office with $47.4 million.
