Power walk for the men in black

Two home-grown Hollywood heavyweights have walked the red carpet for Les Miserables in Sydney

UNCOMPROMISING black gym gear - check. Sharp sunglasses - check. Tough-guy buzzcut - check.

It took bystanders a moment to register that the two robust men striding purposefully through Sydney's eastern suburbs yesterday were not a couple of naval officers enjoying Christmas leave, but two of Sydney's best-known residents.

They were Oscar hopeful Russell Crowe and billionaire casino owner James Packer - an unlikely duo - out for a chinwag and a random set of roadside push-ups during a morning power walk through Rose Bay.

The Les Miserables actor left the home of his estranged wife Danielle Spencer shortly after 8am and rendezvoused with Packer on New South Head Rd before striking out towards the city.

The two lions, who in years past have shared a love of fatty food and cigs, have spent the year immersed in their careers and sculpting their bodies - Packer with the aid of gastric banding and beachwork, and Crowe with gymwork and cycling.

With both utterly focused on their newly acquired slim-line physiques, the two were clearly not going to let the Christmas ham and beers distract them from their now famous fitness routines.

While reps refused to confirm which man had accepted the other's invitation for the work-out, it seems Easts supporter Packer and Souths owner Crowe have become closer thanks in part to a shared love of larrikin friends, among them cricketer Shane Warne.

Crowe, at 48 three years Packer's senior, was initially befriended by his father, the late Kerry Packer. The actor read Rudyard Kipling's poem If at Packer Sr's 2006 memorial service and enjoyed a front-row seat at the Opera House send-off alongside the Packer family and Malcolm Turnbull. Packer Jr's Scientology mentor Tom Cruise and his wife Katie Holmes sat a row back alongside then PM John Howard.Yesterday's catch-up, coming a fortnight after Packer's confirmed investment in a Hollywood film production company, could suggest they are working up a film project.

Crowe is expected in Coffs Harbour with his sons by Spencer, Charlie, 8, and Tennyson, 6, this weekend.
