Russell Crowe
, who starred in “
The Nice Guys
,” has shed 52 pounds, after wrapping up the film. He gained weight for this movie to give a beefy appeal. When he was asked about his weight reduction in a radio show, he said, "I was 268 pounds in the first week of August, last year. I did a movie called 'The Nice Guys', so I wanted to be the physical juxtaposition of
Ryan Gosling
.” Still Russell Crowe is doing a lot of exercises to bring back his normal weight. Russell is all praises of Gosling, as he has made him laugh umpteen times, during the shoot, which he had not experienced in his career. The film is supposed to hit the theaters on May 20th.
