How Did Russell Crowe Lose the Weight?

Back in 2024, Crowe weighed about 50 pounds more. In November, he made an appearance on the popularJoe Rogan Experience podcast and revealed how he managed to drop the extra pounds.

"I was 126 kilos when I finished Nuremberg," Crowe told Rogan about his role as Hermann Göring in the 2025 film. "I'm 100.9 now."

Crowe explained that in addition to focusing on diet and exercise, he credits much of his weight loss to Rogan introducing him to a platform called Ways2Well. According to its website, Ways2Well is a healthcare platform that combines everything from bloodwork and hormone optimization to stem cell therapy and peptide therapy.

"I'm not really across the science, but the real benefit I'm getting from these into my shoulders, my knees, and also IVs, is that it's calmed down my body's inflammation," Crowe said, adding that he has years of sports injuries and arthritis.
