Russell Crowe too fat to film love scenes with Sienna Miller

Great... great New York Post item:

RUSSELL Crowe is throwing his considerable weight around the pre-production of "Nottingham," telling producers to get a new director, demanding script rewrites and, now, forcing Sienna Miller out of the flick.

Miller, who was to play Maid Marian, left the movie yesterday after being "put on hold" while shooting was pushed back from February to April.

An insider said, "It is a mess. Russell never lost the weight he put on for 'Body of Evidence' - and so the love scenes between him and Sienna would have been laughable. He's so old and fat and she's so young and gorgeous. It's just . . . gross."

Word in Hollywood is that producers are "looking for an older, plumper actress to play the role so [Crowe] doesn't look like a paunchy grandpa. Someone in her late 30s or early 40s." A rep for Miller - who's said to be "fine" and "about to sign onto two other movies" - declined to comment.

Crowe, who plays both the Sheriff of Nottingham and Robin Hood, is trying to lose the lard. One producer who said Crowe has to shed 35 pounds cracked, "We can't have Robin Hood looking more like Friar Tuck."

That last line is awesome.

 

Russell Crowe made Gladiator. He can do no wrong in my book.

 

Sequel would be Glad He Ate Her... and Him and Her and Him

 

badump bump!

 

Looks like Crowe can forget about the long-anticipated Robin Hood: Men In Tights sequel.

 

Body of Evidence is a Madonna movie. Body of Lies is a Russell Crowe movie.

Sounds like Crowe's Body Be-Lies

 

Wasn't Crowe in a porn called "Glad I Ate Her?"
