Russell Crowe: Diet and Increased Physical Activity

As medical doctors will tell you, putting on weight and rapidly losing it is not good for one’s health, but it is an occupational hazard for many actors and actresses who have to do it to bag acting jobs. Take Australian actor Russell Crowe for instance, who had to pack on the pounds for his 2017 movie Boy Erased.

Russell then lost a lot of that weight and is looking much slimmer now. The Gladiator star is no stranger to rapidly gaining and losing weight for movies. In 2016, when he weighted 270 lbs, he had to lose 53 pounds in just 7 months for his upcoming movie, The Nice Guys.
