Russell Crowe is fighting fit and in contention for a second Oscar. A slimmed-down Crowe has just launched his latest movie and critics say he is in the running for an Academy Award.
The New Zealand-born actor stars in Cinderella Man as Depression-era world champion boxer and folk hero Jim Braddock.
Crowe, who won the best actor Oscar for Gladiator in 2001, lost 19kg for the role.
