Russell Crowe's Article
Russell Crowe doesn't like to deprive himself. The actor had to slim down from his Gladiator physique to play the bookish Nobel Prize-winning mathematician John Forbes Nash Jr. in the upcoming film A Beautiful Mind.But instead of going on a diet, Crowe started taking fat-neutralizer pills made by Lean Routine, the company that manufactures the soy-based diet drink endorsed by Melanie Griffith in TV ads. Crowe also spends much time working up a sweat in a customized trailer full of exercise equipment while on location in New York and New Jersey. The 48-foot-long 18 wheeler - called the Muscle Truck - holds $50,000 worth of equipment, including weight machines, a treadmill, a stationary bike and a rowing machine. Crowe's one special request? A punching bag.
