Russell Crowe and His Handsome Son Tennyson, 20, Flex Their Biceps in Sweet Birthday Message

Russell Crowe may be an Oscar-winning actor, but the star counts being a dad as his favorite job.

The Nuremberg star and Oscar winner, 62, who dropped 50 pounds last year, took to Twitter/X on Tuesday to share a touching birthday message in honor of his son Tennyson's 20th birthday. But it was the duo's wild biceps in the gym that caught the attention of social media users.

"20 years ago today, at 7 minutes to 7am, this amazing young man arrived in our lives. Happy Birthday Tenny," Crowe captioned the photo set, which saw the proud dad and his son flexing their biceps alongside each other in the gym. Both sporting long, flowing hair, the dynamic father-son duo had matching smiles on their faces. That was accompanied by a shot of the duo riding horses together, as well as a throwback shot of Crowe holding his son as a baby.

How Did Russell Crowe Lose the Weight?

Back in 2024, Crowe weighed about 50 pounds more. In November, he made an appearance on the popularJoe Rogan Experience podcast and revealed how he managed to drop the extra pounds.

"I was 126 kilos when I finished Nuremberg," Crowe told Rogan about his role as Hermann Göring in the 2025 film. "I'm 100.9 now."

Crowe explained that in addition to focusing on diet and exercise, he credits much of his weight loss to Rogan introducing him to a platform called Ways2Well. According to its website, Ways2Well is a healthcare platform that combines everything from bloodwork and hormone optimization to stem cell therapy and peptide therapy.

"I'm not really across the science, but the real benefit I'm getting from these into my shoulders, my knees, and also IVs, is that it's calmed down my body's inflammation," Crowe said, adding that he has years of sports injuries and arthritis.
