Crowe shared the photos in a post on X, showing him and Tennyson doing different things, including a workout, where they both flexed in front of the mirror. Despite Crowe's mighty beard, the resemblance is unavoidable, with Tennyson showcasing Crowe's trademark light brown hair. 

"Son looks more like Russell Crow than Russel Crow himself," wrote a follower.

More images showed the two riding horses, with both showcasing their long hair. Crowe's final image showed him and Tennyson many years ago, when he was a toddler, with both looking at the camera and Crowe smiling widely.

"20 years ago today, at 7 minutes to 7am, this amazing young man arrived in our lives. Happy Birthday Tenny," Crowe captioned the photos. 

Tennyson is Crowe's youngest son. He's the father of two: Charles and Tennyson, whom he shares with his former wife Danielle Spencer.

More details about Crowe's family

Tennyson is Crowe's youngest son. He's the father of two: Charles and Tennyson, whom he shares with his former wife Danielle Spencer.

Crowe and Spencer married in 2003, separating in 2012 and finalizing their divorce years later, in 2018. Following the split, the kids were based in Australia with their mother.  “Our main focus is on our children so they feel safe and secure,” Crowe said in 2016, sharing that the family has “holiday together about once a year.”

Over the years, Crowe has focused on keeping his kids away from the spotlight, but he's shared tidbits of information from them. “The very first thing he does is lean over and twist one of the microphones to him [and says], ‘Daddy, I would like to tell a joke’ — and then he proceeded in front of these 30 journalists to tell his favorite," he said of his eldest son, recounting his son's appearance at a radio press conference. 

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Crowe revealed that his kids were quarantined with their mom in Sydney while he was staying "in the bush." When Crowe asked Tennyson why he preferred to stay in the city, he had a funny response. “My youngest one, who is just too honest, said, ‘Uber Eats,’” said Crowe on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
