A young, skinny Russell Crowe does an ad for a bible college


Check out this ad, starring a young Russell Crowe flogging a bible college and the calling of life to the Ministry.

It is cringeworthy, awkward and embarrassing. I think if you showed this to people back in the day and said this skinny guy is going to win an Academy Award, BAFTA, Golden Globe, and Screen Actors Guild Award people would have thought you were delusional.

See how skinny he was back then. With the current speculation that fat Russell has been ordered to slim down for his next role, this bit of memory lane, thanks to the wonders of youtube might make him a little nostalgic.

Crowe has reportedly been told that he is too fat to play the role of the sheriff of Nottingham in the upcoming Robin Hood film directed by Ridley Scott. According to the Daily Mail, the British director asked Crowe to commit to a diet, that consists of stuff other than burgers and fries.

    He's still hot though.

    I don't think Russell's performance is cringeworthy at all, given it's a corporate video from 1987. He was only 23, what did you EXPECT him to look like back then? And Russell has NOT been ordered to slim down. He does not require ORDERING; he does what's necessary for each role, which recently called for some serious weight gain. He already has slimmed down considerably and should be in tip-top shape by the time filming begins on “Nottingham” in March.

    It's called “getting older”….deal with it.
