Russell Crowe cut a casual figure on Wednesday when he stepped out for dinner in London.

The Gladiator actor was joined by a retinue of family and friends, including son Tennyson, 18, and fiancé Britney Theriot.

NRL star Sam Burgess and his wife Lucy also tagged along for what promised to be a slap-up meal at swanky Mayfair eatery Sheesh.

It appeared to be an early birthday celebration for Russell, who will be turning 61 on April 7.

The Aussie actor dressed comfortably for the occasion in a plain grey polo shirt that he wore under a navy blue Hugo Boss overcoat.

Russell finished his dinner ensemble with a pair of light blue denim jeans, and a pair of grey Brooks sneakers

Russell’s fiancé Britney, meanwhile, looked chic in a stylish black coat that she wore over a similarly coloured blouse.

The actress also wore a pair of khaki coloured pants that finished just above the ankle, and finished her outfit with a pair of black heels.

She left her flaxen locks down for the occasion, accessorising simply with a subtle gold pendant around her neck and a pair of sunglasses perched on top of her head. 

Looking very much like his father, Tennyson also cut a casual figure in a long sleeve grey shirt that he wore over a second, red T-shirt.

He also wore a pair of light grey jeans and a pair of white sneakers.

The 18-year-old accessorised with a canvas cross-body bag, a long necklace and a birthday gift bag that was, no doubt, and early gift for his father.

Sam and Lucy Burgess, meanwhile, were very much in doting parents mode, bringing along their cherubic one-year-old Robbie for the occasion.

As Lucy cradled the tot in her arms, Sam was spotted carrying a cute stuffed teddy bear as well as Robbie’s pram into the restaurant.

The dinner party looked in a celebratory mood as they mingled in front of the restaurant.

Russell was definitely in good spirits, happily chatting to his friends and other diners as he waited to be seated.   

Britney and Russell sparked speculation that they were are engaged in early 2024, when Britney was seen sporting a diamond ring.

Claims are circulating they are eyeing up an Italian wedding after reportedly visiting a church during their latest visit to the city.

The couple, who started dating in 2020, visited Rome last year when Russell performed with his band The Gentlemen Barbers at the Forum Theatre.

They were spotted sightseeing during their lavish getaway and reportedly visited a church in the city.

‘Italy was always going to be their wedding destination. Every time they go there, they come back more in love,’ an insider told Woman’s Day.

‘It’s always been their dream to get married there.’

Russell and Britney frequently visit Italy together and first sparked engagement rumours during a trip to the European country last year.

In February last year, Britney was seen wearing a dazzling diamond band on her ring finger as they visited at the Ariston Theatre in Sanremo.

They were visiting the Italian Riviera for Russell’s gig at the Sanremo Music Festival with his band, who frequently perform at venues across Italy.

Russell also often holidays in Italy with Britney and his sons Charles, 20, and Tennyson – both of whom who he shares with ex Danielle.

Gladiator star Russell has long gushed over his love of Italy and Rome in particular, previously describing it as ‘the city where my heart beats faster’.

Russell is believed to have first met former actress Britney on the set of his 2013 film Broken City, but they did not start dating until many years later.

The pair then confirmed their long-rumoured romance with a kiss on a tennis court in November 2020.

Russell was previously married to Australian actress Danielle, 55, having tied the knot in April 2003 during a ceremony at his farm in Nana Glen.

The couple welcomed two sons together but went their separate ways in 2012 and finalised their divorce six years later.
