Russell Crowe certainly turned some heads when he hosted the 2025 Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts Awards on Friday (Feb. 14).
The actor is sporting a slimmer frame than what fans have seen in recent months.
As seen in the side-by-side photo above, Crowe looks to have shed quite a few pounds since last year. The photo on the left was from June 2024 at the Giorgio Armani fashion show in Milan, Italy. The snap on the right was from the AACTA awards last week.
The Gladiator actor has not mentioned anything about his transformation. He’s not very active on social media, and when he does post, he isn’t typically in front of the camera.
