Did Russell Crowe gain weight for a movie role, bc of health issues or because he discovered the all you can eat buffet on Carnival Cruises?

WarmSoda OP ,

I don’t know any details of the picture. But gaining weight as you get older is completely normal for men and women. If you’re expecting to have a 25 year old physic at 50 you’re in for a lot of depression long before you reach 50.

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 if you’re not hitting the gym.

He looks normal for a guy his age, and for what he’s done for decades.

set_secret ,

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.

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

I think it’s partly just being OK with getting fat. If you are not attractive anymore anyway because of age, may as well enjoy whatever food you like. And if you are in a relationship, both partners are probably OK with looking not so great anymore as they age.

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.

Of course, not every snack comes packaged this way. I have thought about buying certain snacks and then pre-portioning them myself like he does, but it involves a lot more hassle and I don’t have anything like a kitchen scale.

kameecoding ,

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”.

captainlezbian ,

Oh it can stop being good. Trauma can do shit to you. Crazy in the head and crazy in bed sometimes blend into shit like sexual violence. And suddenly what you find yourself really craving is someone who is stable yet adventurous, someone who will discuss what crazy shit we’ll do together then discuss what we liked and didn’t afterwards.

Thorry84 , in That same classic rock
twig , (edited ) in When you donate, do you ever think of the person that gets your blood and how high their hospital bill will be?

So this letter board is clearly advertising Canadian blood services. Canada’s healthcare system could use a lot of work, but it is far from the dumpster fire that American healthcare is.

If you want to shitpost about this and assume as Americans do that America is the only place, maybe try to find an image that isn’t so obviously from a country with universal healthcare.

buzz86us ,

Yup in America we donate the blood to hospitals that sell the blood… So why can’t we deduct blood donations for their monetary value on tax forms?

kameecoding ,

In my country you get a day off on top of being paid for your blood donation, I think you get some tax benefits on top of that too.

A_Random_Idiot ,

in America you donate blood for free, and your blood gets sold to the hospitals for 100-400 dollars. then the hospitals charge the patients who receive it even more than that.

m0darn ,

In Canada we donate blood for free, then they sell it to America.

unreasonabro ,

to top up all the dumbasses who get shot down there in actual hell

twig ,

That is true. And Canadian Blood Services is still super homophobic.

m0darn ,

Are they?

Canadian Blood Services (CBS) says it plans to introduce the new behaviour-based questionnaire approach “no later” than Sept. 30. It will apply to both blood and plasma donations, outside of Quebec.

It will mean that when all donors are screened before rolling up their sleeves, they’ll be asked whether they have recently engaged in anal sex in the context of new or multiple sexual partners within the last few months. If they have, they would not be able to donate until they had gone three months without engaging in that activity.

I thought that change (2022) was the end of the discussion.

twig ,

Tragically, no. I thought so too until quite recently. They did improve things but it’s pretty rough

Since a viral load can be reduced to zero through medication, HIV-positive folks can be non contagious. The use of condoms, even if the viral load is not suppressed through medication, seriously reduces the risk of HIV transmission. They don’t ask questions about condom usage. To be clear I’m not suggesting that HIV-positive folks should be donating blood, just that the actual factors for transmission are way more specific than “butt stuff = AIDS” the way that they imply. The result of this is still excluding queer folks end up getting excluded with language that’s less overtly hostile and more implicitly hostile.

The screening doesn’t exclude people based how many partners a person has slept with, or whether they have used protection (both of which are massive risk factors for transmission) and instead basically forbids anyone who engages in anal sex from donating blood.

SatansMaggotyCumFart ,

They also are prudes about trading cocaine for sex.

m0darn ,

The last time I donated blood (quite recently) I was asked if I had had a new sex partner or more than one sex partner the last 3 months.

I was asked if I had had sex with anyone within the last year that had previously had/ tested positive for hiv/aids.

I was asked if I had taken any hiv/aids preventers.

Is it the follow-up questions to these initial screening questions that are homophobic?

eldavi , (edited )

I don’t know about Canada; but over here you only get those questions if they deem you a high risk group and; depending on your responses; if they think you’re gay and had sex in the last year, you’re not allowed to donate.

It sounds like Canada is only okay w gays donating blood if they’re in a heteronormative couple, which; I’m willing to bet; is as a depressingly tiny minority of gay men like it is in the United States.

Sometimes, the smart prejudice is subtle or hidden in the details so that it’s more palatable to the rest and/or to confuse those who don’t look too closely.
