Russell Crowe, soon to be 60, looks unrecognizable in new photos: how the star of Gladiator has changed

The star actor of Gladiator, Russell Crowe, surprised the web with a new photo, which made fans say that the 59-year-old actor had become 20 years younger. His elixir of youth was the absence of a "silver" beard, which he had been growing for about five years.

However, another stunning piece of news was a hint that he would continue his career by getting his twentieth movie role, which is probably why the star shaved his head. "The actor prepares #20. First shave since 2019," the mysterious description of the photo reads on X.

Actually, the actor has been inseparable from his gray beard for the last 5 years. He occasionally adjusted it but did not change his look at all. Fans say that now Crowe resembles himself in his youth. Since the filming of the movie Gladiator in 2000, the star's appearance has been transformed: his face and physique have rounded out, his eyes have drooped, and he has grown a beard.

The decision to get rid of the excess facial hair was supported by his followers. "Wow, you look 20 years younger!", "Looks good! It's nice that you changed it [the look] and shaved. You have a beautiful face, it was hiding behind that hair", "Age has made you much more interesting. And you shouldn't hide your beautiful face," they wrote.

In 2024, the actor will also not leave fans without enjoying his performance in the long-awaited sci-fi movie Kraven the Hunter, which is due to be released on August 30. However, moviegoers seem to be in for another Russell Crowe movie as the teaser for this year's action flick has already been released, and it features the actor with a beard.

The star rarely reveals details of his personal life. However, his ex-wife, actress Danielle Spencer, actively posts photos with her sons and their father on Instagram. This is how Russell recently went on vacation with his adult children, Charles and Tennyson, to Rome, Italy. The woman posted a family photo in front of the iconic Trevi Fountain.
