It’s Uncanny Twitter! But Then Russell Goes All Old Man Creepy On Poor Britney

Nothing gets us more excited than a good old-fashioned banter exchange between celebrities on Twitter… especially when we know they mightn’t have been especially friendly beforehand.

One of Britney Spears’ quick-witted fans spotted the uncanny likeness between Russell’s Les Mis character’s get-up and Britney’s Toxic song uniform.

Britney enjoyed the side-by-side comparison and retweeted the post, tweeting Russell at the same time saying:

“LOL. Cute hat @RussellCrowe You wear it well. Maybe we should perform a Toxic/Work Song mashup ;)”

Complete with cheeky winky face…

Russell, clicking on his latest Twitter notification with excitement, must have thought “creepy old man” was the right approach to take with his reply:

"@britneyspears Hello young lady. Such a lovely colour on you.”

Ah, Russell… you ruined it.

So, how long before YouTube graces us with a Work Song/Toxic mash-up then?
