Plus people like Crow worked out a lot. You don’t get movie star muscle without doing a lot of work, and probably some short cuts. When you stop doing that you gain weight that isn’t muscle.
Shit, even going from a semi active lifestyle to a 9-5 office job will add a belly of you’re not hitting the gym.
He looks normal for a guy his age, and for what he’s done for decades.
My wife is 49 and she’s hotter now than at 25 when we met. She has visible abs and has had two kids.
You absolutely can have a good body as you age if you eat well and move a bit.
Russell is above a healthy weight because he’s spent years and years indulging with his excessive wealth to enable it, he needs to put down the fork and pick up the weights.
Well that told him!
Prick.
He’s actually overweight in that photo for a movie role.
Oh well that’s good. I mean as long as he’s abusing his body for cash Art it’s fine.
Now you just hatin’

Only if you keep eating as you did before. People don’t change their diets as they get older because they seem unaware / not caring that the belly will come otherwise.

Meanwhile, Ernie Hudson at 78 years old.
I don’t really care about Ghostbusters, but I found this to be a really interesting video. He seems very wise with a lot of his tips and explaining why he does things the way he does.
One of the things that he mentioned that I also have personally found helpful is he said something about pre-portioning snacks so you don’t eat too much.
It’s so incredibly wasteful, but for snacks in my house, I prefer to buy the bulk packages of snack sized portioned snacks (whether it’s chips, nuts, etc.). Thing is, I know it’s so incredibly wasteful for the environment to have things individually wrapped. But when they are individually packaged like that, it’s a hell of a lot easier to see and understand just exactly how much you’re eating and usually stop yourself before you get too deep. Sure, it’s more economical and wasteful to buy a giant family sized package of chips. But when I have to open each individual 150 cal snack bag, it’s a lot easier to stop at only 1 or 2 bags.
Gym? If you go to the gym to not get a belly you are doings wrong already, you can never outtrain your fork.
People get fatter as they get older because they don’t adjust their calorie intake to their decreased level of activity, there is nothing about a human body that says you have to get fatter as you age
Gaining weight as you age is not “normal”. It is “common”.
I love how respectful you’re talking about this meme / Crowe.

What country are you in?

Argentina. Obesity is climbing steadily and fast and that is still not normal to see.
