SAS Australia winner Sam Burgess is seen for the first time in Bangkok after joining his friend Russell Crowe in Thailand to work on his new film
He’s one of rugby league’s all-time greats.
But Sam Burgess seems to have settled in nicely into his post-retirement career in the film industry – thanks to Hollywood superstar and South Sydney Rabbitohs co-owner Russell Crowe.
Crowe, 57, posted several photos on Twitter on Thursday from Bangkok, Thailand, where he is believed to be shooting a movie called The Greatest Beer Run Ever.

Humble: Burgess said he’d accepted the job in Thailand because he wanted to ‘see what I can pick up’ in terms of leadership skills before going into coaching
‘I worked in a previous movie [with Crowe] in Sydney, earning a basic wage, going back to some roots and observing the leadership and how they manage such a huge operation.’
Burgess said he’d accepted the job in Thailand because he wanted to ‘see what I can pick up’ in terms of leadership skills before going into coaching.
