Russell Crowe, Dizzee Rascal, David Gandy and Reginald D Hunter join Jonathan Ross for this week's Friday Night With Jonathan Ross on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ One.

Russell Crowe admits it was hard to get into shape because of Gladiator injuries: "a big ask to get in to that level of training again," and tells Jonathan how he partied all night with his wife to celebrate Hollywood Walk of Fame: "We were still outside with a vodka at seven in the morning... that's why I married the girl."

He reveals Robin Hood is the first of his films he's shown his children, but that he didn't get a positive response – they said: "can we go home now, dad?"

He also confirms he's committed to a Robin Hood sequel and that he wants a follow-up to Master & Commander, saying: "I'd certainly do that character again."

Dizzee Rascal says he was delighted to be voted choice for black James Bond and reveals he wrote off a police car straight after passing his test: "My first crash, and it's the police... I haven't crashed since!"

He says he's still single and playing the field but wants a family: "Just testing the waters, I've been known to play around a bit... I want kids, I want all that."

Supermodel David Gandy says celebrities like David Beckham should stick to their day jobs and that he found it tough to be accepted as a model: "I was laughed off for the first couple of years, I was told I was too good-looking," adding "it was all androgynous, skinny, [they] resembled women more than guys."

He also admits he was overweight when he was younger: "I was quite chubby when I was 15, I loved a pie," and says he wants to stay at the top: "I changed the industry and younger guys are coming in, so I'm trying to kick them out!"

Comedian Reginald D Hunter tells Jonathan that he trained at RADA but wasn't taken seriously as an actor: "I went to auditions and they said we're not doing Othello this year."

He also says he likes Britain "because of debate, [and] people love being smart," and that he loves laid-back Australia, which is "like a white Jamaica."
