Hollywood star Russell Crowe has given Bindi Irwin a dazzling $25,000 Rolex watch as she celebrates her birthday engagement to boyfriend Chandler Powell.
Bindi, daughter of the late Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin, shared a photo of the solid gold and diamond encrusted watch on Twitter earlier this week. She accompanied the post with a touching message, telling Crowe she had been left "utterly speechless" by his heart-warming gesture which she would "treasure forever".
Crowe – a close family friend – today described Bindi's engagement as "fantastic news" in reply to her announcement that Powell had proposed on her 21st birthday at her family-owned Australia Zoo.
The Gladiator star followed up with another post, comparing Bindi to the expensive watch, writing: "Solid gold. Just Like you. Just like you, It sparkles with real diamonds in its heart. Happy 21st Birthday Bindi."
