Russell Crowe met The Archbishop of Canterbury at Lambeth Palace on Tuesday (April 1), following the London premiere of Noah earlier this week.

The two spoke about the film, faith and spirituality during a short private meeting, according to the Archbishop's office. Crowe plays the title role in the biblical epic, which is released on Friday (April 4) in the UK.

Crowe also managed to meet Pope Francis last month and spoke about the experience on Good Morning America.

"Look I'm not Catholic and I've never felt any connection with any previous Pope, but I like this guy," he explained.

"I like what he says... he's changing the tone of the way you regard the Pope and I think it is a magnificent thing. I was very privileged and humbled to be in that environment."

Noah, directed by Darren Aronofsky, had its big premiere at Odeon Leicester Square on Monday (March 31) as the movie's stars Crowe, Emma Watson, Jennifer Connelly and Ray Winstone all turned up.

The movie debuted in the number one spot at the US box office at the weekend.
