He likes to "maximize"? Not expecting much...practicing for being seen in public myself.

He’s got that cute grandpa/Santa Claus look to him. :)

Need a remake of the Hangover with him, Jack Black, Kevin James and Anthony Anderson where they go buffet to buffet and get food comas
Imalwaysready
Holy crap! It looks like the guy in that movie from 20 years ago aged at least 20 years since it came out!

my name is Maximus Decimus Meridius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife, and I will have my cupcakes now please, yes....
hazelbazel
I'd still bang him.
MrHamurai
He’s not even really “chubby”. His shirt is too big, and the beard adds so much surface area to the face, it just looks that way.
guitarfourtysix
was gonna say . .He's not doing too bad for mid-50's.

Pfft, I remember when he was a small time swindler in Erinsbough 33 years ago.

I hear the whistle blowin', it's time we must be goin', no more Russel Crowe-in', for you.

My dad pulled me out of school to tag along with him to Gladiator. I WAS entertained!

Do you like movies about gladiators?
pooslap
Do you ever watch gladiator movies jimmy?
itsjustabeaver
He had to gain weight for some recent roles. Check out the Loudest Voice, he’s unrecognizable. (The rise and fall of Roger Ailes)
IrinaPalm
No. He eats. A lot.
itsjustabeaver
Might be true too. Never ate with him.
IrinaPalm
Might be?

I just assumed most of that was prosthetics

Genuinely though, I remember watching this in the cinema. Where have the last 20 years gone???

my guess is fat Crowe could still kick ass, it'd just take him longer to recover
dirtmarker
He looks much happier now

Independently wealthy and pretty much retired will do that to you. Liked his films so kudos to the guy.

That movie was hell to make and everyone was shocked it turned out well.
Imalwaysready
He got his vengeance and that allowed him to move on.
IsItawKWard
He got divorced
NerdyPegger
Of course he does. He's still glad-he-ate-her
fbutt09
He’s been eating well not really exercising and grown great facial hair.
obliviousa
Good for him. Probably doesn’t throw cell phones at people anymore.
heartlessninja6
He’s no longer hungry.
Maxgaap
To be fair, he's had 20 years to get over his wife and child being murdered
moxieswagger
I know it's a sin but I've never seen Gladiator. For a second there I was genuinely shocked at what I took to be RC's life horror.
AldebaranDeTauro88
You MUST watch it. Definitely not underrated
Winter23
Its ok, I love the movie but it still took me a sec to realize RC's family hadn't been murdered irl.

Chubby Russell Crow is honestly my favorite Russell Crow. If you haven't checked out The Nice Guys yet, see it. He's adapted well to it.

that movie is hilarious! he & ryan gossling work so well off each other.
DamnedIfYouDo
Such an awesome movie.
BigMistakeBigHUGE
He purposely gained “mass” for roles. https://pagesix.com/2020/02/13/russell-crowe-trying-to-stay-out-of-the-spotlight-until-he-slims-down/
SandBanana
Was just watching it tonight! Never knew I needed a Crow/Gosling detective duo movie in my life. ?
laurenlena1
He was also really good as the father in Boy Erased. Underrated film.
EmCeeMiNacion
He reminded me so much of John Goodman in that movie.
mosstheboss
Ever since he let himself Russel Go, he started to Russel Grow.
ABirdWalkedOnMyPillow
I honestly did not expect to like it a whole lot, but it was so good. Very fresh humor, extremely likable characters, wild plot. Excellent.

Oy! It's Russell Crowe!...."and fightin' 'round the world"
CulturallyEmbiggened
Yes! Fuck, sorry, I don't know how but I refuse to remember that. You're 100% correct.
OlderWiser
Now you have to eat crow. Not Crowe.
CulturallyEmbiggened
Hey, don't you butt in, there's a Crowed.
Bassemuss
Why do we assume hes another person just bc he looks diff in diff roles? Wtf kind of persons really think personality is linkt to weight.
yaddiex3
Only every person on imgur who comments negatively about overweight women.
GirthBrookss
Ya but isn’t Russell Crowe proved himself to be a total piece of shit several times? Getting fat doesn’t negate that.
CulturallyEmbiggened
He's just drunkenly violent, it's not like he rapes people or stomps puppies. I don't think "total piece of shit" qualifies.
Bassemuss
Sound like your definition of total piece of shit is different that the other imgurians
HeroniMouse
Ah yes, my fave is the Nice Guys drinking game, where you drink every time an innocent person is killed.
comfortablerebel
"I don't think anybody got hurt" "I think a lot of em died" "Yeah but I'm saying they probably went quickly"
seemill
Shane Black wrote it, what else would you expect?
HeroniMouse
This day and age I am tired of movies that treat death as an afterthought. Destroys any empathy I have for the characters
HeroniMouse
Only thing worse than the wonton death was Gosling's Abbot and Costello impersonation "acting." Those porn star titties were nice, though.
AndrewSMi
Wonton death? Is that like the soup?
HeroniMouse
Lol. Yes I realized that after fact but fuck it. Wonton death would be a good name for covid.
maninthedarkness
We need to get him signed up for the next Miracle on 34th Street. Frankly we could use a good Santa Clause flick this year.
LargeVarge
Have you seen “Christmas Chronicles” with Kurt Russell “? It’s a Netflix movie and was petty good.

I just may this year.

The Nice Guys is so underrated! Easily a top favorite.

Starting it now. It’s been on my watchlist for a while and I’m just rewatching 30 Rock for the hundredth time

Nearly 5 years old now, we was lot slimmer then! Great film though

Yeah great movie. Gosling kills it in that as well

Is that the one with all the whores and stuff?

Don't say and stuff. Just say, is that the one with all the whores.

I was pleasantly surprised when I watched it the first time. I laughed so loud, it was hilarious. It became an instant favorite.

I will upvote support for kiss kiss bang bang any time, even if I have no idea how well it lines up with The Nice Guys taste-wise.

Same director. I'd go as far as to say a spiritual successor.

Damn, ok, I'll watch both, I've always thought about KKBB but needed some impetus to get on my ass and watch it. Thx.

I believe the venn diagram of people who would like the nice guys and people who would like kiss kiss bang bang would look like a circle

I was just about to respond, but you did it far better than I could have.

Agreed. I loved both.

Okay, im convinced. Ginna watch nice guys. KKBB was one of the best movie
