Russell Crowe's wife Danielle Spencer has revealed that he can be "volatile".
The Australian musician, who has sons Charlie and Tennyson with Oscar-winning actor Crowe, said that the media have made him a "caricature" by turning him into a stereotypical "angry man".
Spencer told The Australian Women's Weekly magazine: "He's quite a volatile person, sure, but he also has a very warm and soft and funny side to him, too. He's multi-faceted, as most people are, but the media doesn't allow for shades of grey."
She also revealed that they want their children to have a "really normal life".
