Russell Crowe, once known for his chiseled biceps and abs, has undergone a notable transformation, now sporting a “beer” belly with a weight close to 136 kilograms.

The actor, famous for his role in “Gladiator” and “Les Misérables,” has also embraced a new look, complete with a beard and round glasses, earning him the nickname “Santa Claus.”

Reports suggest that Crowe, previously a heartthrob, is dissatisfied with his current appearance.

Despite efforts in the gym yielding minimal results, the actor is rumored to be considering liposuction to address his concerns.

Allegedly motivated by the fear of losing his young wife, Britney Theriot, Crowe is willing to make sacrifices to maintain his relationship, as reported by the Globe.
