"Russell Crowe had to be rescued by a coastguard at the weekend. The Noah star was kayaking in waters off New York&amp;#039;s Long Island along with a friend when they became stranded on Saturday (September 1), according to local reports.   The pair were recovered and brought to the harbour by a rescue boat. US coast guard petty officer Robert Swieciki said the pair got lost as the evening became darker and beached their kayaks in Huntington Bay, nearly 10 miles east from where they first set out. The US coast guard was supervising the area, and heard the star call out to them from the shore around 10pm and made his way over to their boat. Swieciki said: &amp;quot;He just needed a little bit of help, he just got a little lost. It wasn&amp;#039;t really a rescue, really, more of just giving someone a lift.&amp;quot; The coast guard described Crowe as &amp;quot;grateful and friendly&amp;quot; and the star later thanked his rescuers on Twitter.
