Ross spoke with Farrow, his former manager, after he found himself under intense media glare, senior entertainment sources have said.
One industry insider said Farrow would have advised Ross 'to keep his head down, stay indoors and not be photographed smiling'.
Ross is currently suspended from the BBC for leaving lewd messages, with Russell Brand, on actor Andrew Sachs' voicemail during a radio show.
Farrow would not comment when contacted by PRWeek.
