“On Behalf of Anthony Bourdain, I thought that he would have probably done so if he was still around. I wish you and LeChef the best and hope things can be put back together soon.”

That’s the tweet Oscar Winner Actor Russell Crowe shared to confirm he was the one behind a generous donation to the legendary Gemmayze restaurant that was torn apart following the August 4 explosion. Bourdain had featured “Le Chef” in his famous show “No Reservations” back in 2006.

Insider reported that Crow donated $5000.

On behalf of Anthony Bourdain.
I thought that he would have probably done so if he was still around. I wish you and LeChef the best and hope things can be put back together soon. https://t.co/VHYCJujJ6y
