    He was in and maintained his amazing shape. Genetics definitely playing a role but I really believe proper resistance training and diet (ie lots of protein, proper caloric intake) is the fountain of youth. So many older in-good shape dudes at my local gym. You can tell they lifted heavy for decades.

    I reckon he’s done some sort of trade with Danny Glover who has looked a week from retirement for about 40 years now.

    Shit, he’s actually older than Danny.

    I think Morgan Freeman is his painting of Dorian Gray. That poor fucker was born looking like an 80-year-old man.

        Yes true, in this case even with enhancing supplements it is very impressive. He also looks to never have been excessively large like a bodybuilder, which might help.

    I met Ernie a few years back at a comic con. I was wearing an absolutely idiotic huge baby face costume I put together at the last minute. He sent his handler to grab me because he wanted to talk and get a picture with this stupid outfit. I was dumb founded and forgot to ask if I could take my picture with him at the same time. But he was pretty cool to talk with.

    Like, if he’d been the absolute picture of health for the whole time, yeah, okay, that’s achievable. But cancer TWICE!? Holy hell!

    I don’t even plan to live that long but if I did I’d be blessed to look that good.
