Russell Crowe has slammed Woman's Day after it published a story claiming he's dating a 22-year-old actor.

According to the magazine, 53-year-old Crowe has been dating Love Child actor Sophia Forrest for three months.

But Russell Crowe was not impressed by the story and threatened Woman's Day with a lawsuit similar to the one just won by Rebel Wilson.

"Dear @WomansDayAus can you not stuff your s**t filled pages with deliberate lies about relationships I've never been in?" Crowe tweeted.

In a follow-up tweet, the Oscar winner wrote: "Don't make me go all @RebelWilson on your ass @WomansDayAus".

This isn't the first time Crowe has tweeted about stories published in magazines in an attempt to set the record straight.

2/2 Don't make me go all @RebelWilson on your ass @WomansDayAus .

He took to social media last December after a series of articles claimed he was in a relationship with his longtime friend, Terri Irwin.

"Last week @NewIdeamagazine said I was getting married, now @WomansDay saying the wedding's off," Crowe tweeted on December 7.

"I have such a dramatic life in bs magazines."
