MARRYING MAN RUSSELL CROWE’S 100-POUND DIET!
Wants to get down to a svelte 200 before ceremony
ROLY-POLY Russell Crowe is in a panic to peel 100 pounds so he won’t look like a hippo waddling down the aisle when he weds svelte lover Britney Theriot, sources say.
The 5-foot-11 former Gladiator hunk now weighs a scale-crushing 300 pounds after packing on weight to play loathed, sex-harassing jumbo Roger Ailes on TV’s The Loudest Voice series, insiders say.
“He lost at least 30 or 40 pounds since filming stopped, but he’s still pretty big,” notes an insider.
But the 58-year-old wants to lose a small mountain of flab before popping the question to the blond Louisiana real estate agent, who at age 30 is young enough to be his daughter, spies dish.
“Russell is crazy in love with Britney and dead set on making her his next bride,” the insider says.
“She loves him just the way he is, but he’s been ready to get back into fighting shape and now is the perfect time to ditch those bad diet habits.”
Formerly wed to Aussie actress Danielle Spencer, 51, mom of his sons, Charles, 17, and Tennyson, 14, Russell got the urge to get hitched again after spending lockdown with curvy Britney, sources say. He and Britney started dating over a year ago and have been loading on the PDA during tennis dates, where his bulging belly pops out from his T-shirt during snapshots. Insiders say he’s been ring shopping with plans to propose this summer, if not sooner, and has already launched a new fitness regime to shed 100 pounds.
“He definitely wants to be down to 200 pounds for the wedding, so he can walk to the altar looking his absolute best,” the insider adds.
