Role in this case, went up to 270lbs and lost 50lbs after
To paraphrase him "People can say what they want about my weight, I can bench press them, the reverse isn't true"
I don't know any details of the picture. But gaining weight as you get older is completely normal for men and women. If you're expecting to have a 25 year old physic at 50 you're in for a lot of depression long before you reach 50.
Plus people like Crow worked out a lot. You don't get movie star muscle without doing a lot of work, and probably some short cuts. When you stop doing that you gain weight that isn't muscle.
Shit, even going from a semi active lifestyle to a 9-5 office job will add a belly if you're not hitting the gym.
He looks normal for a guy his age, and for what he's done for decades.
This honestly does not look normal where I live
What country are you in?
Argentina. Obesity is climbing steadily and fast and that is still not normal to see.
Shit, even going from a semi active lifestyle to a 9-5 office job will add a belly if you're not hitting the gym.
Only if you keep eating as you did before. People don't change their diets as they get older. They seem unaware / not caring that the belly will come otherwise.
I think it's partly just being OK with getting fat. If you are not attractive anymore anyway because of age, may as well enjoy whatever food you like. And if you are in a relationship, both partners are probably OK with looking not so great anymore as they age.
My wife is 49 and she's hotter now than at 25 when we met. She has visible abs and has had two kids.
You absolutely can have a good body as you age if you eat well and move a bit.
Russell is above a healthy weight because he's spent years and years indulging with his excessive wealth to enable it, he needs to put down the fork and pick up the weights.
He's actually overweight in that photo for a movie role.
Oh well that's good. I mean as long as he's abusing his body for ~~cash~~ Art it's fine.
Now you just hatin', edit after you just made some wild assumptions
If you’re expecting to have a 25 year old physic at 50 you’re in for a lot of depression long before you reach 50.
Meanwhile, Ernie Hudson at 78 years old.
I don't really care about Ghostbusters, but I found this to be a really interesting video. He seems very wise with a lot of his tips and explaining why he does things the way he does.
One of the things that he mentioned that I also have personally found helpful is he said something about pre-portioning snacks so you don't eat too much.
It's so incredibly wasteful, but for snacks in my house, I prefer to buy the bulk packages of snack sized portioned snacks (whether it's chips, nuts, etc.). Thing is, I know it's so incredibly wasteful for the environment to have things individually wrapped. But when they are individually packaged like that, it's a hell of a lot easier to see and understand just exactly how much you're eating and usually stop yourself before you get too deep. Sure, it's more economical and wasteful to buy a giant family sized package of chips. But when I have to open each individual 150 cal snack bag, it's a lot easier to stop at only 1 or 2 bags.
Of course, not every snack comes packaged this way. I have thought about buying certain snacks and then pre-portioning them myself like he does, but it involves a lot more hassle and I don't have anything like a kitchen scale.
Gym? If you go to the gym to not get a belly you are doings wrong already, you can never outtrain your fork.
People get fatter as they get older because they don't adjust their calorie intake to their decreased level of activity, there is nothing about a human body that says you have to get fatter as you age

Gaining weight as you age is not "normal". It is "common".
I love how respectful you're talking about this meme / Crowe.
He actually is pretty heavyset in his role in The Exorcism, which just came out. I don't know if it was intentional but it certainly fits with his character in the film.
That was weight he intentionally gained for a role though
Many rolls, I imagine
That role? Life.
This is what happens when you eat the pie every Christmas dinner even though you're full. It adds up over the years.
There's like 20 years between those pictures.
Ah, heck. I thought it was a witch's curse. You're telling me time fried this rice?
Oh good, and I was afraid that was the long version of it
He only uses his full name in the extended cut
I smell a weekend of extended cuts for lord of the rings, the godfather, apocalypse now, and Maximus saying his name coming up! Who's with me?
He has a wife, you know…
Do you know what she's called?
And I will have my sandwich
Lol at the ending
Turns out working out burns and cake is delicious.
Ronald McDonald: smile for me now, brother.
Makin' movies, makin' music
Yeah its called age. Happens to everyone alive.
Not me, I didn't consent to that
Hold that thought and let us know how its going for you
I dread the day I’ll stop smoking
Fwiw, I lost about 4 kg of my average weight (That was about 7% of my body weight) when I stopped smoking. A couple of years down the road I also quit drinking which also decreased my average weight by another 4 kg.
(With average weight I take into consideration that I have natural, not dieting related fluctuations of about +/- 1 to 2 kg. The fluctuations are still there but the mean they deviate from is vastly different.)
Maybe I should add that I am still eating about five pounds of sugar a day and I haven't done sports since 2012, so don't assume that quitting smoking meant a healthier lifestyle (sadly).
You might as well check your insulin levels, maybe it's worse than your lungs
ok
Well I’m a heavy weed smoker, so maybe there’s a difference. Also I already notice the withdrawal effect in the form of more appetite/eating a lot more when I don’t smoke for a couple of days. Given I also have really bad eating habits … I usually eat once a day but when I don’t smoke I will need breakfast and lunch too.
