Crowe successfully defended himself, but that doesn't excuse Stern's original body-shaming. The argument could be made that in putting down Stern, Crowe is just perpetuating the original behavior. The issue isn't who can bench-press more weight. The issue is that Russell Crowe and the rest of Hollywood, and probably most the people around you, have been subject to this kind of useless criticism. Chris Pratt was recently forced to make a similar online statement when fans criticized his "skeletal" appearance. Girls creator Lena Dunham — whom Stern once called a " a little fat girl who looks like Jonah Hill " — has been subject to scrutiny recently due to a perceived weight loss. (There have been both negative and positive opinions on the change.)
