RUSSELL CROWE and Cate Blanchett have filmed a sex scene for the new Robin Hood blockbuster, with Crowe revealing the on-set chemistry between the pair is very merry indeed.The two Oscar winners are in Britain filming Nottingham, the latest retelling of the classic tale about Robin Hood and Maid Marian. Crowe described Blanchett as "very special"."So far we have ridden horses together, seen off the bad guys, got naked (partially), wallowed chin-deep in mud, danced by firelight, attended a funeral and kissed," Crowe told The Sun-Herald. "What can I say? It's an interesting gig."Blanchett inherited the role of Maid Marian after Sienna Miller was dumped from the Ridley Scott film amid reports the female lead needed to be older, to complement Crowe in the leading role."I can't talk highly enough of her skill and sense of humour," said Crowe, of working with Blanchett. "She is a wonderful partner in crime and now that we are under way, I can't think of anyone else in this part."Crowe, who was on a strict physical fitness campaign to trim down for his role, has also hosed down reports of trouble on set with director Scott."His gaze is steely, his demeanour determined, at 72 years old he is an inspiration to every man and woman on the set," Crowe said. "Ridley and I have never made a secret of the way we work, we agree to disagree because in the calculation of both our opinions we create the best idea. There's no yelling, no diva bullshit, we are doing our jobs to the best of our abilities and try to do something special every day."Crowe described the Nottingham production as "gargantuan the biggest I've ever worked with". He spent much of the filming last week on horseback, with scenes taking place in Wales.Crowe and Blanchett are commuting regularly to London, where their families are based for the filming.Crowe said reports about him flying to work in a helicopter each day were false."I don't know why this negative rubbish keeps getting printed," he said. "In reality I am camped out in a trailer, which is bringing back childhood memories of Airlie Beach and Moruya.">Crowe's feet on ground:S, Page 11
