Have you ever noticed, when ever we have a celebrity in NZ, we suddenly own them because they shot a movie here. For instance, when Tome Cruise filmed The Last Samurai, we began farewelling "Our" Tom?

And I think we even tried to claim Russell Crowe, I don't know why because he chucks phones at people.

Australians do it too, they said that Michael Campbell was an Australian, which he's not!

But you also notice, when celebrities do something bad, they don't belong to any country.

Man this world is crazy!

Btw, Russell Crowe is a New Zealander...hehe...

But I do agree with you...Aussies always try to claim people who are better than them...
