Picture: Hunter Tim Source: The Sunday Telegraph Russell Crowe says he finally has a movie he can take his children to see as he takes on the role of Superman's lost father in Man of Steel. IF there's one thing we've learned about actor Russell Crowe, he doesn't give up a fight easily. And by the easy manner, smiles and chat, it appears the campaign to win back his wife Danielle Spencer is continuing. Nine months after the couple formally separated, shoppers who spotted them together in Los Angeles suggest a reconciliation might be on the cards. On a family holiday with sons Charlie, 9, and Tennyson, 6, the pair flew out of Sydney on Thursday looking happy, relaxed and every bit a couple as they started what is becoming an annual family tradition. See all the exclusive pictures here Crowe, who was picking up a few things at Bloomingdale's in LA with Spencer when they were photographed, is taking a break after a hectic two-month international tour promoting his film, Man Of Steel. Crowe and Spencer's marriage was at breaking point this time last year when Spencer and her sons flew to the US to meet Crowe on the back of rumours that she had formed an attachment to her Dancing With The Stars partner Damien Whitewood. They officially separated in October. Sources said yesterday that while the couple haven't got back together, Oscar-winner Crowe may still be carrying a torch for the singer-songwriter and actress he met in 1989 when she was a household name and he was a struggling unknown. It's an open secret among their friends that Crowe wants to reunite but Spencer has repeatedly refused. But she is committed to continuing their 25-year friendship for the sake of their sons. At Easter, Spencer and Crowe, star of hits Gladiator and A Beautiful Mind, spent the day together with the boys at the Royal Easter Show. Witnesses reported that the pair exchanged a quick kiss when Crowe and the boys headed off to watch his beloved Rabbitohs. Charlie and Tennyson are thriving despite living between three homes - their mother's Rose Bay home base, their father's penthouse apartment at Woolloomooloo and the Nana Glen farm where Crowe's parents live. Insiders say Crowe is in a happy place personally and enjoying fatherhood.
