The Hollywood star quietly listed his Woolloomooloo Finger Wharf apartment a month, and is said to be hoping to sell it swiftly.

The current record is $25 million, though the Daily Telegraph report that the actor is being 'realistic' about his asking price and just wants to get rid of it.

The newspaper also say that Russell's school mate, estate agent John McGrath, has organised for the apartment to be viewed by potential buyers over the last few weeks.

The Gladiator star and is estranged wife moved into the property back in 2003 after buying it from Nutrimetics founder Imelda Roche and her property developer husband Bill Roche.

Over: The actor and estranged wife separated in 2012 and are now finalising their divorce

The Roches were the first people to live in the apartment having bought it for $9.8 million in 1998.

Russell and Danielle's divorce is close to being finalised after years of separation.

The couple - who have two children Charles, 12, and Tennyson, nine - separated in 2012 after nine years of marriage, though he was reluctant for it to end in divorce.

Speaking in 2015, Russell said: 'To this day everything I do is still connected to that.

'We haven't done the deal yet. I'm a very persistent person, you never know.

'I didn't get married to get divorced.'
