Maximus Hood - back to fighting trim



USA Today has a first look picture of Russell Crowe in Robin Hood, with a haircut and physique very much like his look in Gladiator. He's lost the weight he gained for Body of Lies, and I guess that long hairdo he sported in State of Play which I thought was for Robin Hood was jettisoned.

Producer Brian Grazer compared Crowe to his Gladiator look and says about the film:

Grazer says Robin Hood's story was ripe for revisiting.

"Oddly, it's a metaphor for today," Grazer says. "He's trying to create equality in a world where there are a lot of injustices. He's a crusader for the people, trying to reclaim some of the ill-gotten gains of the wealthy. That's a universal theme."
Even Helen Mirren in State of Play seems to be thinking "Get a grip and pull yourself together. You look like a slob!"

Below Russell last week in NYC, and chubby hubby Crowe last October:
