Actor Russell Crowe says fatherhood has changed him, as the needs of his son, Charlie, come first.

Crowe told the Sunday Herald Sun that his son is "outrageously flirtatious" and makes him "look at things differently".

Crowe says his new album, My Hand My Heart, is a personal reflection of his life's ups and downs.

"I can't imagine having a child and not have it inform any part of your life," he said.
