Russell Crowe shows off dramatic weight loss at Zurich Film Festival

Russell Crowe showed off his slimmer appearance at the Zurich Film Festival.

The 61-year-old actor took to the stage at a Swiss festival on Saturday, September 27th, accepting the Golden Eye Award for Lifetime Achievement during the screening of the film Nuremberg. The Gladiator star took the opportunity to wear a classic navy blue suit and a green patterned tie.

Crow previously revealed the physique of his groomer while heading out to Wimbledon on July 1st with his girlfriend, Britney Theriott. The pair smiled and applauded, watching the on-court action from the All-England grass tennis and the Crockett Club stands.

Crowe and 32-year-old Theriot, a former actress who currently worked in real estate, have been dating since 2020 after first meeting in 2013 on the set of Broken City.

Last month, Crow and Theriott made an unusual red carpet appearance together at the premiere of the Toronto International Film Festival, where the film’s cast was greeted with a standing ovation. The actor took a photo with his arms around Terriott’s waist.

Crow has earned Oscars a buzz for his portrayal of Hermann Goering in the historic courtroom drama Nuremberg. This, according to the official summary, “records the true story of an eponymous trial conducted by allies against the defeated Nazi regime.”

“The film centers around American psychiatrist Douglas Kelly (Rami Malek), who is tasked with determining whether Nazi prisoners are suitable for trials for war crimes, finding themselves in the complicated battle of wisdom between Hitler’s right-hand man and Hermann Goering.”

The film also stars Leo Woodall, John Slattery, Colin Hanks and Mark O’Brien.

When he accepted the Lifetime Achievement Award in Zurich on Saturday, Crow told the audience about his constant “expectations” of viewers in mind when he stepped into new acting roles.

“In the end, when I go to work, I want to touch your heart, so I take your expectations as your audience. I want to open up your heart. I want to scare you. I want to scare you.

Nuremberg will be released in theaters nationwide on November 7th, ahead of the 80th anniversary of the trial.
