GOLDIE SAVES FATHEAD KURT!
Convinces stubborn stud to shed 60 lbs.
SLIMMED-DOWN Kurt Russell is praising lover Goldie Hawn for saving his life by forcing him onto a diet and exercise program that dumped 60 dangerous pounds.
“He had packed it on and seemed on a continuous holiday where he would eat and drink whatever his heart desired,” blabs a spy. “But he had to stop, and Goldie talked sense into him.”
As GLOBE previously reported, the 5-foot-11 Escape from New York hunk ballooned to 250 pounds last year — far above his normal 190. Sources say that’s when Goldie, 77, put her foot down.
“He was obese, it was actually dangerous, and she realized she had to get him on the right track,” squeals the source.
The fitness-loving actress made it clear she wasn’t going to stand by and watch her 71-year-old honey eat himself to death, tattles the tipster.
“She loves him no matter what size he is, which is why she kept quiet for a long time. But it got to a point where his health was really on the line,” adds the insider.
The Hateful Eight star finally agreed to quit binge-eating and
get on Goldie’s workout plan.
Now he’s telling everyone she saved his life, spills our spy.
“He’s already lost 60 pounds and is in much better shape,” blabs the tipster. “He actually has energy again.
“It wasn’t easy but Goldie is a firm taskmaster, softly cracking the whip, and thanks to her, he’s kept it off.
“Kurt still has the occasional glass of wine, but in moderation.”
The couple work out together with bike rides, long walks and strength training.
“Let’s face it, he was a heart attack waiting to happen and Goldie’s changed all that,” the source adds. “She looks amazing too.”
