Russell Crowe has an Oscar and is co-owner of the Sydney Rabbitohs rugby league team, but maybe his next job should be US treasury secretary.
The New Zealand-born actor announced, during a US TV talkshow appearance, a plan to cure America's financial crisis.
"I have been intently watching the political process," Crowe told talkshow host Jay Leno.
Crowe believes the US government should give each American $US1 million ($A1.26 million).
"I was thinking," Crowe said.
"If they want to stimulate the economy and get people spending so they can look after their mortgage ... give everyone $US1 million."
His mathematics however, isn't as good as his acting.
Giving the roughly 300 million people in the United States $1 million each would cost $300 trillion. ($300,000,000,000,000)
Crowe is in the US to promote his new spy thriller with Leonardo DiCaprio and director Ridley Scott, Body of Lies, which opens in Australia on October 9.
The actor is preparing for another film with Scott, Nottingham, based on Robin Hood, and has grown his hair past shoulder length.
"I'm going to play Maid Marion," Crowe, twirling his long hair, told Leno.
Crowe will play the Sheriff of Nottingham and Siena Miller has been cast as Maid Marion.
