I fell in love with Malta in 1999 and I’m being reminded on every corner exactly why.

Crowe is in Malta for a few days to film parts of the new film Prizefighter: The Life of Jem Belcher in which he is starring alongside Matt Hookings, Ray Winstone, Jodhi May and Steven Berkoff. 

“Today I am going to Fort Ricasoli… You want to come to?” teased another tweet.

But it’s not just the historical sites that have impressed the actor, who gave restaurant Capo Crudo a shoutout.  

Last night I went to a restaurant, Capo Crudo.
In Valletta.
Michelin. When you taste the food you know why.
I had a dish that was mussels, clams, calamari in a delicate, subtle Thai style sauce. It brought many loves together in one experience. I wish for you this opportunity…

“Last night I went to a restaurant, Capo Crudo. In Valletta. Michelin. When you taste the food you know why,” Crowe said as he described a dish which he said brought many of his loves together in one experience. 

The actor also retweeted a post by English former professional rugby league footballer Sam Burgess – who is also in Malta it seems – about an encounter he had with ALS activist and campaigner Bjorn Formosa. 

I was fortunate enough to meet a gentleman by the name of @bjornformosaals by coincidence in Malta earlier this week.
Bjorn is leading the way for people with ALS/MND here in Malta.

Burgess praised Formosa for his work in leading the way for ALS/MND people in Malta, a message also now endorsed by Crowe. 

So it seems that the actor is getting up to quite a bit during his time in Malta, and with 2.7 million followers on Twitter, Malta’s tourism authorities will be more than happy for him to continue with the posts.
