Russell Crowe, you've got mail. A lot of it.

Postal authorities Down Under today unveiled a new line of postage stamps that feature the Oscar-winning actor in his latest big-screen adventure, Robin Hood. The Ridley Scott-helmed action flick is set to open the 63rd Cannes Film Festival on May 12 and go wide two days later.

This is the second time the 46-year-old thesp's adopted country (he was born in New Zealand and became an Oz citizen in 2006) has immortalized him in stamp form.

Last year, the postal service issue stamps of Crowe along with fellow Aussie stars Nicole Kidman, Geoffrey Rush and Cate Blanchett (who costars in Hood) as Legends of the the Year.
