RUSSELL Crowe has declared his support for Malcolm Turnbull on Twitter, asking him to consider challenging for the leadership of the Liberal Party.

In a tweet to his 1,103,366 followers Mr Crowe said destiny was calling for “the most trusted politician in our country”.

Dear Malcolm Turnbull, I am a union member, a tax payer. You are the most trusted politician in our country, destiny calls. Please consider.

– Russell Crowe (@russellcrowe) July 25, 2013

Malcolm Turnbull quickly responded, thanking Crowe for his support.

@russellcrowe thanks Russell! You are very generous to your local member.

– Malcolm Turnbull (@TurnbullMalcolm) July 25, 2013

The tweet comes weeks after the Gladiator star tweeted his support for deposed Labor leader Julia Gillard.

Bullshit & party politics aside…M. Turnbull would be a great prime minister… Julia G is my choice though . Leader through tough times.

– Russell Crowe (@russellcrowe) June 18, 2013

At the time Russell Crowe told the 7.30 Report his tweet had been a response to what he saw was a lack of gallantry in Australian politics.

“I think there’s just a lack of gallantry that has crept into not just politics but the way politics is reported,” Crowe said.

“And I think it gives license to a type of hater that will only further reduce the quality of our lives. The better the politicians that we have in place the better our society is going to be – the better all of our lives are.”

The Hollywood actor has a house in the suburb of Rose Bay, located in Mr Turnbull’s Wentworth electorate. However, as Twitter users pointed out, Mr Crowe is unable to vote in the next federal election as he is not an Australian citizen.

But Mr @russellcrowe you’re not an Australian citizen, so you can have an opinion, but you can’t vote

– Andy Semple (@BULMKT) July 25, 2013

Mr Crowe expressed his anger at his inability to be awarded Australian citizenship, despite arriving in Australia from New Zealand as a four-year-old in 1968.

@BULMKT That’s right Andrew, lived in Aust 37 of 49 years. 2 Aust kids. A legal tender Australian stamp. Is it fair I’m not allowed 2 vote ?

– Russell Crowe (@russellcrowe) July 25, 2013

@[email protected] I don’t get a vote, but I will have an opinion. Been a labour supporter all my life, right now we need a statesman

– Russell Crowe (@russellcrowe) July 25, 2013
