Ringo Starr is allegedly pulling all the stops to make sure that he would still look young even though he’s already 92 years old.
A source told Globe that Starr has gone through all lengths to make sure that he wouldn’t look a day older than 50 years old. But it hasn’t been easy.
Some of the things that he has been doing include using hair plus and dye. He also adheres to a strict diet, and he’s also thinking of ways how he could improve his image.
“Ringo’s managed to roll back years with his dark full head of hair, which he has to dye every week to keep it that black. And there are hints he’s had hair plugs. He’s a vegetarian with a meagre diet of mostly broccoli, carrots, and tonics, and starves himself. He’s also a fan of Pilates and exercises every day with a trainer,” the source said.
The insider added that there’s no denying the fact that Starr is so youth-obsessed and he’s worried that the day will come when he will no longer look as handsome as he once was.
But those close to him want to remind him that aging is inevitable, and he really can’t do anything about it. They also tell The Beatles member that he could no longer hide the fact that he’s 82 years old because everyone knows his age.
“He’s so youth-obsessed that he spends a fortune to stay hip and relevant, but few would guess he’s 82, and that translates to success in his book,” the source said.
However, one should take the tabloid’s claims with a grain of salt because they are obviously inconsistent. First, they claimed that Starr is worried about aging because he’s youth-obsessed.
But the tabloid also claimed that Starr knows that he’s lucky to even have reached the age of 82 because this is a reminder of his successful career.
There’s also no proof that Starr is obsessed with looking young or that he’s gone through great lengths to look much younger than his age. After all, he seems to be embracing the fact that he’s already in his 80s.
And while it is possible for Starr to have colored his hair or to have gone on a diet, these don’t seem like a big deal, especially among celebrities.
