Russell Crowe has moved into Matt Damon's Dalkey mansion as he begins filming on his new movie, The Pope's Exorcist.
Damon and his family stayed in the five-bedroom mansion at the start of lockdown for €7,000 a week back in 2020.
Now, Crowe and his partner Britney Theriot are paying € 15,000 a week to stay in the Georgian house on the Vico Road - so it's surely only a matter of time before they take a dip in the Vico waters.
