Russell Crowe says he "accepts" the ageing process.

The 50-year-old told The Sunday Times that he isn't one to fret about his appearance as the years progress.

He said: "There's a certain percentage of vanity that is unhealthy in my business and it affects both sexes. You see it with the men, dying their hair into their sixties pretending they don't have grey hair, or having plastic surgery and using sun lamps.

"I'm not that guy. I'm totally happy - well, you're never totally happy with ageing - but you accept it. You understand that you do age but there are roles for any age if you're prepared to play them."

The actor added: "I was asked a question that I turned on to myself. I said that, at 35, I was in 'Gladiator'. Now I'm 50, I'm not looking to be in 'Gladiator' anymore. I'm living in my own skin, playing roles that suit the age I'm at."
