‘I’m looking forward to seeing if people laugh. Because if they don’t laugh I’m f*cked,’ he said.

Boney appeared taken aback by Russell’s crude admission before bursting into laughter.

She then reminded the Oscar winner the segment would air on breakfast TV where swearing wasn’t allowed.

Russell seemed to take it in good stride and looked directly into the camera and said, ‘you’re on Channel Nine’.

Crowe was the driving force behind the high octane outing which is set inside the glamorous world of high-stakes poker.

The film was shot both at Fox Studios and across a number of New South Wales landmarks, including the $100million Crown Residence penthouse at Barangaroo and the Kiama coastline.

In a statement obtained by Daily Mail Australia, Crowe said: ‘This was quite an extreme project for me, came on to my radar very fast.’
