Russell Crowe has taken a load off since ballooning to over 250 pounds, and sources tell GLOBE it was fears for his health that spurred him to get serious about slimming down!

The Down Under chunker, 60, packed on the pounds for his role in the 2020 thriller Unhinged – but instead of getting healthy post-shoot, he continued to pack on more pounds!

“The weight kept piling on until he was tipping the scales at well over 250 pounds,” tattles the tipster. “He had to do something drastic unless he wanted to keep on gaining and putting his life in jeopardy.”

The extra poundage was also preventing him from getting choice roles, sources note.

According to top diet doc Stuart Fischer, who doesn’t count the star as a client, Crowe appears to have lost over 50 pounds.

“He looks to be about 200 pounds now, and before he looked to be over 250 pounds,” the Park Avenue Diet author tells GLOBE.

Our source says he lost weight the “healthy” way.

“He cut way back on booze and bread, he’s saying no to fatty foods that were his big weakness, and is paying a lot more attention to labels and portion control,” dishes a source.

“Instead of fish and chips, he’s having a salad with lean protein and dressing on the side. He’s grabbing raw veggies when he gets the munchies – and no more late-night trips to the fridge. He admitted to friends that he’d crossed a dangerous line that was worrying even to him!”
