It's called "acting". The actor tries to assume the demeanor of the character he is playing. This means he must often make decisions about his own appearance based on what his character needs and not on his own personal vanity or what "fashion" requires. You should read more about it.
Also you appear to be unfamiliar with the fact that Crowe gained weight a decade ago to act in The Insider. He lost it afterwards for Gladiator. At least then he had the luxury of being by comparison unknown and so was not subjected to the absurdly childish taunts of bored and irresponsible bloggers trying desperately to be witty and get hits..

Crowe, Hanks, Travolta, et al appear to have found all that weight Julia Roberts lost.

Of course I'm not talking about Hollywood's definition of "fat". Merriam-Webster says that "fat" means "notable for having an unusual amount of fat". Leo does not fit that definition in the image I linked to. At most he's 10 lbs overweight.

I have to disagree with Leonardo DiCaprio being "fat". Does he look fat in the picture below? http://www.awardsdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/200...

Orson Welles was also a fat director. But look at the careers of Hitchcock, late Kubrick, Peter Jackson, Francis Ford Coppola, Guillermo Del Toro, etc. People love fat filmmakers.

depends if you mean Hollywood's definition of fat or the rational, non-pithy definition that normal folk hold to.

It's called the middle age spread. Men are allowed to let themselves go, however women are held to a different standard in Hollyweird. SOSO.

Fat actors have been popular since Orson Welles. Fat directors on the other hand…
