BBC Radio Solent’s Breakfast in Dorset presenter Steve Harris has been making headlines after a simple request on Twitter.
He sent a message on Tuesday morning asking if anyone knows how he can get a reply from Russell Crowe.
Steve wanted him to ask him if he’d record a birthday message for one of his listeners, who is currently sailing around the world in the Vendee Globe race, and happens to be a big fan of the actor.
What’s up Steve?

As a result, many articles have been written about Steve and his Twitter success.

Today I got an amazing birthday message from @russellcrowe. Not much makes me speechless, but this did. I’m still reeling, but wanted to send this message back…
And thank you to @SteveHarrisDJ for sorting it!@Medallia pic.twitter.com/kemGa0gkjz
