File this one under way too much info from the IMDB:
Gladiator star Russell Crowe wanted to give new bride Danielle Spencer a night to remember on their wedding day - so they abstained from sex for months before the big day. The 39-year old Oscar winner was worried that he may not be able to live up to his sex symbol reputation after the lavish bash, so imposed a sex ban to ensure he would give his best performance. He says, "We spent a lot of time apart - as in not sharing the same bed. I was determined there would be a lot of pent up energy on the big night. I didn't want to be like my mates and say, 'I couldn't get it up as I was so p****d' I think that is horrible as you go to all the effort to get married and I think you should consummate it on the night."
I heard that the test audience he hired to watch the wedding night gave his performance high marks, but the ending needed work.
;)
