Russell Crowe Needs to Lose Some Weight
He’s a shoo-in for pretty much any role he wants, but if Russell Crowe hopes to star in the upcoming Robin Hood film by Ridley Scott, he’ll need to shed some pounds.
The “Gladiator” stud has reportedly been ordered by his director friend to lose weight before he assumes the role of the Sheriff of Nottingham reports FOX News.
And according to a source, it’s no small feat that Ridley was able to make the request. “[Scott] is one of the only directors on earth who could ask [Crowe] to slim down.”
The new flick is said to be a new spin on the Robin Hood story, with Crowe’s sheriff “portrayed as a noble man whose corrupt king is to blame for the oppressive taxes on his subjects. Crowe’s character will compete with Robin Hood for the love of Maid Marian.”

Russell’s already lost a lot of weight lately, and he’s looking fantastic! And I think Ridley Scott realizes that Russell gained his weight at the request of Ridley himself for “Body of Lies”.

If you want to illustrate how supposedly overweight Russell is TODAY, why use old pics from over a month ago--that were taken while he was in SoCal for followup filming of “State of Play"--filming which required him to be the SAME WEIGHT he was during the shoot much earlier last year.
The celeb pickings must be really thin if the gossip ‘industry’ needs to fabricate stories and obsess over Russell Crowe’s weight for “Nottingham"--which doesn’t begin filming until March!
