Russell Crowe embraced healthier habits as fiancée Britney Theriot encouraged long-term change:

An exclusive report from Life & Style elaborated through a source that Britney Theriot had taken an active role in helping him make lasting lifestyle changes. The source stated,

"She’s been giving him all the support and motivation he needs to look and feel his best when they end up tying the knot later this year."

While noting that “Britney loves him at any size,” the insider explained that her concern was his long-term health. The couple restructured their eating habits at home, removing processed snacks. The insider revealed,

"His weight was getting to a point where it was endangering his health, so she finally had to step up and say something to him. They did a complete overhaul of their pantry and tossed out all the junk foods and snacks."

Instead, Russell Crowe embraced balanced meals built on lean protein and fresh produce. Crowe has previously spoken candidly about alcohol,

"I’ve given up drinking quite a few things, some things I don’t drink anymore, as me and that product don’t see eye to eye at certain times. Tequila and I are still good friends and vodka and I still get on. It’s just the dark drinks that don’t seem to bring out the best of my personality.”

According to the source, those changes extended into his personal life, as he “pretty much cut out the drinking, except on special occasions.”

Russel proposed to Theriot during a romantic getaway in Italy in February 2023.

Russell Crowe shared the night he surprised Britney Theriot on the dance floor:

Russell Crowe shared in 2024 that he had never been much of a dancer. Speaking to People, the actor said, “As a general rule, I’m not a big dancer.” Although his father taught him when he was young, he admitted,

“It doesn’t come up much in my life now.”

That changed briefly in 2023 during his band’s tour. “Our last show was at a festival in Czechia for 15,000 people,” he said. At the after-party in a nightclub, Crowe tried to make his way back from the restroom. He shared,

"Trying to avoid the crowd on the way back, I took a shortcut across the dance floor, halfway across it, I bumped into my girlfriend, Britney. Naturally, she thought I’d come there to find her."

Russell Crowe responded by giving Theriot an impromptu spin. He explained,

"So I took her into my arms and we danced. Using the type of moves my old man would, spinning her around and bringing her back. Her eyes were sparkling with the fun of it all."

The moment drew the attention of everyone around.

"For a couple of minutes, [everyone] stopped and watched. It was like a scene from a movie. As the song ended, I spun her back into me and we kissed. The crowd cheered and the world around us flooded back in. It was just a perfect little moment.”

Crowe attributed Theriot for the attention as well as a hint of nostalgia, adding that her cheerleading background also lends her the perfect rhythm.
