Meg Ryan Says Crowe Did Not Break Up Her Marriage
A short-lived romance with "Gladiator" star Russell Crowe was not the reason for ending her marriage to actor-husband Dennis Quaid, Hollywood actress Meg Ryan said in an interview. "My marriage with Dennis had already fallen apart before I met Russell," Ryan was quoted as saying in the German edition of InStyle magazine.
Crowe and Ryan began a much-publicized affair while filming "Proof of Life" in Ecuador last year. Ryan, 39, ended her nine-year marriage to Quaid, but split with Crowe, 37, earlier this year. Crowe, nominated for best actor in the Academy Awards for his role in the Roman epic "Gladiator," also told reporters last month he was not to blame for the breakup of Ryan's marriage.
"It would be really great if people would realize that stars are only people with the same weaknesses and flaws, not immaculate idols," Ryan said.
