“On the driveway. Me and my buddy Bandy Bandy. Luckily his markings signaled his presence,” Russell said of the encounter
The actor went on to say he broke his own rules by going outside without shoes.
“I broke one of my own rules of going outside without shoes at night. A little reminder of the folly of this choice,’ he added.

A number of the actor’s fans were shocked by the monochromatic reptile and its proximity to his home.
“You live in such a beautiful country, but I’m not sure I can handle it. I mean could that come into your house? one wrote.
‘Brrrr a close encounter with a snake always leaves Lucky feeling weirdly unsettling!’ another wrote.
‘Just part of everyday life in Australia, right?’ added another.
Between his Nana Glen estate and his luxury apartment in Woolloomooloo, Sydney, Russell is splitting with his girlfriend Britney Theriot.
He recently denied marrying Britney in Italy after she was spotted with a ring.
2Day FM host Erin Molan told her co-hosts she texted the Gladiator actor to congratulate him on his marriage.

“Yes, good guess. We’re not married,’ Russell wrote back.
Russell and Britney reportedly met on the set of Russell’s film Broken City in 2013 when Britney was still an actress.
Britney, who is the spitting image of Russell’s ex-wife Danielle Spencer, has since become a real estate agent.
Russell and ex Danielle share two sons, Charles and Tennyson, who separated in 2012 and finalized their divorce six years later. (Pictured here in Hollywood on April 12, 2010)
