The retired NRL player, who is currently appearing on this season of SAS Australia, told Nova’s Fitzy and Wippa that he is in Thailand lending a helping hand to the Oscar-winning actor.“I’m not in the country at the moment so I’m not watching (SAS) at the same time you guys are. I’m overseas with Rusty working on a movie which is so random but it’s really cool,” said Burgess, who admitted he’s “not acting in it”.“Russell’s got another movie over here, he finished one in Sydney so now I’m working with Rusty over here. I worked on the previous one in Sydney which was a bit of fun and we had a good time.”It’s thought the movie Burgess is referring to is Apple TV+’s upcoming war film The Greatest Beer Run Ever, which is set in 1967 and follows a man who leaves New York to take beer to his childhood friends in the Army while they are fighting in Vietnam.Crowe, 57, is set to star in the film, as well as American actor Zac Efron.As for what exactly Burgess is doing on set if not acting, the former Rabbitohs lock says he is a “spiritual guidance”for the cast and crew.“I’ll make (Crowe’s) coffee in the morning. What I like to say is that I’m like this spiritual guidance on set. Always good energy around, keeping everyone on track,” Burgess said.Wippa quppied, “In other words, you’re doing nothing”.Burgess is looking like the hot favourite to make it to the pointy end of SAS Australia, which is currently airing Mondays to Wednesdays on Channel 7.He was reportedly paid between $150,000 and $200,000 to participate.
