Amid speculation that their friendship is growing into something more, Russell Crowe didn't dispel those rumors when he jumped on a jet and visited with Nicole Kidman in Romania. According to reports, the two were very intimate on the set of Nicole's new movie and he's even staying with her in an old Romanian castle that the production leased for Nicole.

Nicole is in Romania to film Cold Mountain, the story of a wounded Confederate soldier who tries to make it home to see his love one more time.
