Russell Crowe showed off biceps of biblical proportions on the Brooklyn set of “Noah” Wednesday.
In full beard and gray tunic, it’s the first time the 48-year-old Oscar-winner was snapped in costume on the otherwise secretive set of director Darren Aronofsky’s Old Testament epic.
Crowe plays the titular hero, who is tasked by God to build an ark. Jennifer Connelly, who was photographed drapped in a long black coat to hide her costume from paparazzi lens, plays Noah’s wife, Naameh.

Russell Crowe has been tweeting that he’s enjoying his time filming in New York.
The notoriously intense actor could use the distraction of filming right now. Crowe has separated from his wife of nine years, Danielle Spencer, the Sydney Morning Herald reported Sunday.
Blame for the couple’s split has been pinned on Crowe’s busy work schedule. The New Zealand born, Australian raised actor has a pair of movies coming out this year - the martial arts adventure, “The Man With the Iron Fists” and the musical epic, “Les Miserables.”
The couple has two young children together, Charles,8, and Tennyson, 6 - who are staying in Syndey with their mother.
