Russell Crowe and his fiancée, Britney Theriot, attended the world premiere of Nuremberg at the Toronto International Film Festival on Sunday, joining the film’s cast on the red carpet and during a post‑screening standing ovation.
The historical drama, directed and written by James Vanderbilt and based on Jack El‑Hai’s 2013 nonfiction book The Nazi and the Psychiatrist, premiered at Roy Thomson Hall. Crowe, 61, appeared alongside co‑stars Rami Malek, Michael Shannon, John Slattery, Leo Woodall and Richard E. Grant for the first public screening of the film, which features Crowe as Hermann Göring and is scheduled for theatrical release on Nov. 7.
Crowe and Theriot, 33, posed together on the red carpet and were photographed arriving at the venue. Crowe wore a navy suit with a pale blue shirt and tie, and sported red‑tinted aviators and a full white beard. Theriot wore a dark gray cocktail dress with silver floral embroidery and metallic open‑toe heels. Festival photographers captured the pair as they entered Roy Thomson Hall and later joined the cast at the stage presentation following the screening.
After the film, the company received a standing ovation. Industry reaction to Crowe’s portrayal of Göring at the premiere has generated early awards attention. Crowe last received a lead‑actor Academy Award nomination for A Beautiful Mind in 2002 and won the Oscar for Best Actor in 2001 for Gladiator.
Crowe and Theriot’s relationship dates to 2020, according to public reports. The couple first went public on the red carpet in October 2022 at the Rome premiere of Crowe’s film Poker Face. They originally met on the set of the 2013 thriller Broken City, and Theriot has worked as an actress and, earlier, as a New Orleans Saints cheerleader.
Crowe was previously married to Australian singer and actress Danielle Spencer. The pair separated in 2012 and their divorce was finalized in 2018. They are the parents of two sons, Charles and Tennyson.
Nuremberg recounts the intersection of psychiatry and the war crimes trials in the aftermath of World War II, centering on figures who were integral to the Nazi leadership. The film’s TIFF appearance marks the beginning of its festival run ahead of the November theatrical release and any awards‑season positioning.
