Hollywood star Russell Crowe has opened up about his remarkable 25kg weight loss, revealing that cutting back on alcohol played a major role in his transformation.

Speaking on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, Crowe explained that while he loves a good drink, moderation has become key. “I’m a big proponent of having a drink,” he said. “But as you get older, you start to learn about your capacities. One night a week of fun is plenty.” He shared that instead of drinking casually throughout the week, he now enjoys just one glass of quality wine as a treat, rather than drinking “for the sake of it.”
Crowe also discussed how lifestyle changes have improved his overall health. The actor revealed that he suffers from arthritic pain in his shoulders and knees, but his new habits, along with medical treatment, have greatly reduced his inflammation. “It’s calmed down my body’s inflammation,” he said, noting that pain in his shoulder has improved by almost 90 percent. Feeling stronger and healthier, Crowe joked, “Now, it’s rock and roll, son. It’s all going well.”
In addition to his health journey, the Nice Guys star also addressed rumors about his love life. Reports recently claimed that he was engaged to his long-time girlfriend Britney Theriot, but Crowe denied the speculation. He told 60 Minutes that while he is happy and in love, marriage is not on the cards. “My life is joyous and happy. Why ruin that with a wedding?” he said with a laugh.
Crowe, who shares two sons, Charles and Tennyson, with his ex-wife Danielle Spencer, said he values peace and happiness over ceremony. “We respect each other and wake up with a smile,” he said of Britney. “I’ve been married once, and that’s enough.” With his renewed health and positive outlook, Russell Crowe seems to be embracing a balanced, content life both personally and professionally.
