Russell Crowe Losing Weight for Robin Hood

Russell Crowe is trying very hard to lose 50 pounds to play two roles in Ridley Scott’s new film, “Nottingham”. Crowe put on the weight for Scott’s last film “Body of Lies” and now has to lose it and get in shape so he can play Robin and the Sheriff of Nottingham in the new Robin Hood film.

He, apparently, has also been practicing the Long Bow on his NSW property.

“There’s no point in making a second best Robin Hood film. We have to do it with the thought in mind that we’ve got the chance of making the best Robin Hood movie ever,” says Crowe.
