On Saturday, July 23, a widespread WhatsApp video forward claimed that renowned actor and director Clint Eastwood (who we named one of the fittest in Hollywood) had passed away at the age of 92. In reality, Eastwood is still VERY much alive and still VERY fit! Here is everything that the nonegenarian does to maintain his health and wellness:
- This movie star remains healthy by living in the slow lane
- “Aging can be fun if you lay back and enjoy it,” exclaims Eastwood
- This life-long non-smoker is renowned for his knowledge in health and fitness
- Eastwood’s son; Scott claims he taught him to be health-conscious
- “Healthy body, healthy mind; that’s what he preached to me.”-Scott Eastwood about his father
- Eastwood practices transcendental meditation- which is great for achieving spiritual consciousness and a general state of peace
- The 90-year-old hasn’t let age stop him from being a regular at the gym
- This talented actor, filmmaker, and singer is a weight lifting enthusiast, who enjoys the health benefits that come with strength training
- Walks in nature daily
- “I never wanted to build huge muscles and bulk up like a competitive bodybuilder, but I realized very quickly that the best way to keep your muscles strong, hard, and fit was with weight training. And once I got into weight training, I never gave it up.” -Clint Eastwood
Like most videos containing fake information, the aforementioned one that went viral contained an AI speech generator that narrated the actor’s life in a robotic and monotonous voice. Remember, always verify information with credible news sources (who have several avenues of due diligence).
