Russell Crowe recently revealed what motivated him to lose nearly 60 pounds after finishing his new film, Nuremberg a year ago.
THE Gladiator The star reflected on the lifestyle change he made to lose weight during an appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast
Russell said he was “a big proponent of having a drink.”
However, the Disarticulated The actor noted that as you get older, “there are certain things you start to learn about your abilities.”
Russell confessed that now that he’s “an older man,” it’s appropriate to only drink one night a week, and then he tries to “cut out the interstitial stuff.”
But for now, A beautiful spirit The actor said he had to wait for “a special occasion to drink.”
“If I decide to have a glass of wine with dinner, it will be a very good wine,” the 61-year-old said.
Russell further stated that he tries not to have occasional drinks now, but rather “have a drink for fun. It all adds up.”
THE Robin Hood The actor also admitted that much of his weight loss is due to treating injuries he suffered over the years, including injections for “deeply arthritic” injuries to his shoulders and knees.
“It calmed the inflammation in my body,” he noted.
Russell told the podcast host, “What was complicated a year ago has now just gone down probably about 70 percent. One area in the right shoulder, probably about 90 percent.”
Reflecting on his weight loss journey, the actor added that he is undertaking the transformation “very slowly but everything is good.”
The actor says he’s still transforming “very slowly,” but so far, “so good.”
