Russell Crowe’s girlfriend Britney Theriot picks up their new puppy in private jet

Russell Crowe has revealed that his girlfriend Britney Theriot took a private jet to pick up their new pet puppy Ezekiel to ensure he arrived at their home safely.

The couple tragically lost their 16-month-old Papillon puppy Louis in March after he was hit by a truck, so Russell, 59, said they were extra careful with Ezekiel.

Crowe said on The Kyle and Jackie O Show on Friday that Britney instantly fell in love with the puppy after seeing his photo online and asked if she could fly out to buy him.

‘I’m dealing with Britney, whose level of grief was so deep that I put her on a little jet and sent her to go see the dog, then she picked him up and came home,’ Crowe told the hosts.

‘I know it makes me look like a bit of a tos*er, but it’s about what I need to do right now to help Britney.’

Fortunately, the trip home went smoothly and now the Crowe family are working hard to welcome the adorable canine into their household.

He added they were so devastated by Louis’ tragic demise that they eased the mourning process by getting an identical puppy, which he brought to the KIIS FM studio.

‘This is Ezekiel. Say hello to everybody,’ he said as he lifted the excited black and white spaniel into his lap during a video interview.

Ezekiel, also a Papillon, looked to be the spitting image of Russell’s last puppy which he co-owned with Britney, with all the same facial markings and colouring. 

‘At first, we were both like, “Well, he’s irreplaceable.” We put so much emotion into that little dog, and then he died as tragically as he did,’ he said.

‘The only way we could really stop that from being so harsh was to get another puppy. The grief is still there.’

Russell and Britney’s beloved puppy Louis died suddenly at just 16 months old. 

The movie star posted a photo of the Papillon to Twitter in March and captioned it with some heartbreaking words.

‘This is Louis. 16 months old. Tiny, cheeky, brave. He won my heart. Unfortunately today, on the 2nd anniversary of my fathers passing, he was hit by a truck,’ he wrote.

The Proof of Life actor then broke down in tears over the dog’s death during his emotional appearance on The Kyle and Jackie O Show.
