RIDLEY SCOTT ordered RUSSELL CROWE to lose weight for their new movie collaboration - because the actor was too fat for his part.

The 43-year-old plays C.I.A. boss Ed Hoffman alongside Leonardo Di Caprio in new terrorism drama Body Of Lies.

Scott - who also directed Crowe in Gladiator - says, "I've shot with Russell for the past five weeks. That's why he's so sturdy-looking at the moment.

"He's losing weight. He was 30 pounds (13.6 kilograms) overweight to do the part.
