Russell Crowe is making a quick visit to Dublin today to promote his new film, Noah.

He's dropping in to the premiere at the Savoy cinema this afternoon, before attending screenings in Cardiff and Edinburgh - all in one day.

The Australian star has tweeted that he's looking forward to having a Guinness during his whirlwind visit to the city.

Noah has courted controversy for what some call a "disrespectful" portrayal of biblical events, and has been banned in several Islamic countries.
