It might not have been love at first sight when Russell Crowefirst met Britney Theriot.

Whatever attraction, if any, they had towards each other that day took about seven years to bloom.

Crowe and Theriot initially crossed paths while filming the 2013 movie “Broken City.”

Crowe was still married to his then-wife Danielle Spencer when “Broken City” first started filming in 2011.

It’s not clear when or how Crowe and Theriot reconnected after going their separate ways.

Crowe admitted that he became quite the eligible bachelor when he found himself single again after all these years.

“You know the old saying, ‘There’s a girl in every port?'”

Crowe said to a live crowd according toDaily Mail.

Ironically, one of the girls Crowe was flirting with could’ve easily been mistaken for Theriot.

There is a reported 28-year age gap between the two.

But the young woman stood Crowe up at the last minute.

Now just put yourself in this position okay," Crowe said.

“Here’s the options: you, and the person, and Paris.

She decided instead to go to Southampton.”

Crowe felt as slighted by the gesture as anyone would in his position.
