Oscar-winning actor Russell Crowe flexed his muscles in honor of his son turning 20.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, the New Zealand-born leading man posted rare photos with his son, Tennyson Crowe, on X<\/a>. The first photo shows the duo in tank tops, flexing their impressive biceps in front of what appears to be a gym mirror.<\/p>\n

While Russell is now heavily bearded and wears glasses, his bulging upper arms echo the physique he displayed in the 2000 epic drama Gladiator. His portrayal of Maximus Decimus Meridius, a Roman general turned Colosseum fighter, earned him an Academy Award for Best Actor the following year.<\/p>\n

The next photo shows the two riding horses, and the third is a throwback photo taken when Tennyson was a child.<\/p>\n

In the caption, Crowe wrote, “20 years ago today, at 7 minutes to 7 am, this amazing young man arrived in our lives. Happy Birthday, Tenny.”<\/p>\n

The couple, who met in 1989 while playing a couple on The Crossing, married in 2003.<\/p>\n

The couple separated in 2012 and finalized their divorce in 2018.<\/p>\n

In 2016, he revealed to the Daily Mail<\/a> that after their separation, his sons moved to Australia to live with their mother.<\/p>\n

“They’re at school in Sydney these days. And it’s very difficult for me because when I leave, I’m not going to see them for weeks, often months. But that’s the sacrifice you make,” he said.<\/p>\n

Crowe explained that he thought it was important to teach his children to follow their passions and hold a high work ethic.<\/p>\n

Despite their famous father, his children have steered away from the spotlight. He said he was avoiding talking about them too much to protect their privacy.<\/p>\n

“It does make them a point of conversation at school. And they would really prefer to be a little bit more under the radar,” he said.<\/p>\n

In November 2025, Russell shared on The Joe Rogan Experience<\/a> podcast that he had embarked on a major weight loss journey.<\/p>\n

After filming the historical drama Nuremberg in 2024, the 6-foot-tall actor dropped 55 pounds, going from 277 to 222. He attributed his transformation to changes in diet and exercise, and slowing down on his alcohol consumption.<\/p>\n

“If I decide to have a glass of wine with dinner, it’s going to be a really nice wine. I try not to have casual drinks now. [As in] having a drink for the sake of it,” Crowe explained.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Oscar-winning actor Russell Crowe flexed his muscles in honor of his son turning 20.
