Russell Crowe Cinderella Man Boxing Shorts & Shirt
These boxing shorts were worn by the character "James J. Braddock," portrayed by actor Russell Crowe, in the 2005 motion picture, "Cinderella Man." The blue cotton boxing shorts have the original Everlast label sewn into the front center of the shorts and includes a white sleeveless practice shirt with "Maple Leafs" printed across the front.

Mr. Crowe can be seen wearing the shorts during the fight against #2 heavyweight contender, Corn Griffin (Art Binkowski). Because he sold all his boxing gear during his retirement working as a longshoreman, Braddock had to borrow everything for his fight against Griffin. The practice shirt was worn by Mr. Crowe every time while training right before a scene. He considered it his "lucky charm" shirt and would not wear any other shirt to practice before the scene. "Cinderella Man," starring Russell Crowe, Renee Zellweger, and Paul Giamatti, was nominated for three Academy Awards and two Golden Globe awards.
The shorts are in very good screen worn condition and the shirt is in good production use condition with some distress due to extensive boxing training. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from the costume house.
