Actor Russel Crowe is taking a break from the glamor of Hollywood - to trace his family roots in Wales. The 43-year-old Gladiator star will seek relatives of his great-grandparents who ran a fruit and veg shop in Wrexham.
Crowe's trip will be shown on a BBC Wales genealogy program called Coming Home.
His grandfather emigrated to New Zealand 80 years ago and Crowe's parents then left for Australia when he was four.
But researchers found he has dozens of second cousins around Wrexham.
The BBC said: "Plans for filming are under way and everyone is very excited."
Susan Sarandon, Donny Osmond and Petula Clarke have already traced their Welsh roots in the program.
