Russell Crowe Reveals All About Sneezing Prank On Leonardo DiCaprio 9/30/08

Russell Crowe has owned up to a prank he played repeatedly on his The Quick And The Dead co-star Leonardo DiCaprio, which left the Titanic star convinced his pal was sneezing all over him.

DiCaprio confessed he'd spent the last decade thinking he was a carrier of Crowe's mucus - and was relieved when the Oscar-winner revealed his sneezing antics in the make-up trailer were just a dirty practical joke.

During a recent promotional interview for the stars' latest movie, Body of Lies, Crowe explained, "I'd wait until he was sitting in the make-up chair and I'd walk past him and go, 'Achew!' and squirt my atomizer, so little bits of fine mist would form on his face and he'd obviously assume it was mucus."

Relieved DiCaprio laughed at the revelation, adding, "I'm really happy. That's been bothering me for a long time."

Crowe and DiCaprio were co-stars in The Quick And The Dead in 1995.
