Is that you, Russell Crowe<\/b><\/a>? The 59-year-old actor shared new pictures of himself<\/a> clean-shaven after five years of rocking a beard. Russell took to X (formerly known as Twitter) earlier this week to show that he shaved off all of his facial hair.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe actor prepared #20. First shave since 2019,\u201d he tweeted<\/a> alongside the selfie. In the photo, Russell wore a pair of glasses and posed for the camera stone-faced.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Beautiful Mind <\/i>star did not reveal what specific role he shaved his beard for, but he was cast in the film Nuremberg<\/i> for the role of Nazi party leader Hermann G\u00f6ring. Russell will also be seen in two upcoming movies that are slated to premiere this year: Kraven the Hunter<\/i> and Sleeping Dogs<\/i>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In response to the new image he shared, social media users couldn\u2019t believe the difference in how he used to look.<\/p>\n

\u201cWow, you look 20 years younger!\u201d one X user commented. \u201cYou\u2019ve shaved off 20 years of age,\u201d another added, while a third chimed in, \u201c20 years younger instantly.\u201d However, a separate person pointed out that Russell already had \u201ca nice face,\u201d but it \u201cwas hiding behind all that hair.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Apart from his physical appearance, Russell recently opened up about work during an interview with PEOPLE<\/i><\/a>. While speaking with the publication, the Gladiator<\/em> actor recalled a \u201csmall mishap\u201d that occurred while filming Robin Hood,<\/i> causing him to fracture both of his legs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI jumped off a castle portcullis onto rock-hard uneven ground,\u201d he explained. \u201cWe should have prepped the ground and buried a pad, but we were in a rush to get the shot done in the fading light. \u2026 With hundreds of extras around, arrows flying and burn pots setting the castle on fire, there was no pulling out. As I jumped, I remember thinking, \u2018This is going to hurt.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite the painful stunt that he performed, Russell \u201cnever discussed the injury with production, never took a day off because of it, I just kept going to work.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt was like an electric shock bursting up through my body,\u201d he added, referring to the force of the injury. \u201cWe were shooting a big movie, so you just struggle through, but the last month of that job was very tricky. There was a number of weeks where even walking was a challenge.\u201d \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Russell concluded the painful tale by noting, \u201cApparently I finished that movie with two broken legs. All for art. No cast, no splints, no painkillers, just kept going to work and over time they healed themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
