Bryan Johnson, the 46-year-old tech mogul who is spending some $2 million a year to reverse engineer his body so that it functions like that of an 18-year-old, has been showing off his new “baby face.”
Johnson — who famously counts his nighttime erections and keeps close tabs on his rectum as part of a strict, youth-focused regimen — posted a selfie on his social media on Monday showing the fruits of his labor, which he has code-named “Project Baby Face.”
The effort entails shrinking “facial volume” in order to make him appear younger, according to Johnson, who has documented his efforts to bio-hack his way into reversing his body’s biological age — an endeavor he has dubbed “Blueprint.”
“I got really skinny the first year of Blueprint and lost a lot of facial volume,” Johnson wrote on his X social media account. “We started Project Baby Face 10 months ago. How are we doing?”
The reactions to his post on X were mixed.
“I don’t know if it’s just me but it looks very synthetic,” wrote one X user.
Another commenter on X chimed in, writing that “right now, your skin looks unhumanly pale, which is a turn-off for most, as superficial as it may be.”
A naysayer wrote that Johnson’s attempt to appear younger failed to make an impression on them.
“He literally looks his age. he looks tired. i dont see what the hype is,” wrote one critic.
Another commenter noted that Johnson’s hairstyle looked different.
“I just want him to change his hair. it looks weird,” they wrote.
Johnson marked Thanksgiving with a social media post showing him posing nude while holding kettlebells.
“Death was my only wish for 10 years,” Johnson wrote on his X social media account, where he posted the racy image.
“Depression had me in an unbreakable choke hold,” he wrote, adding that he was “giving thanks today that I now feel an insatiable thirst for life.”
Earlier this year, Johnson claimed that he managed to reverse his biological age to the point where he has the heart of a 37-year-old, the skin of a 28-year-old, and the lung capacity and fitness of an 18-year-old.
In January, Johnson, who sold his payment processing firm Braintree Payment Solutions to eBay for $800 million in cash in 2013, revealed the lengths to which he fought the aging process.
He is now spending large chunks of his wealth to crack the code of aging — employing a team of more than 30 doctors and regenerative health experts who monitor his vital organs.
Johnson wants his brain, heart, bladder, kidneys, liver, lungs, penis, tendons, skin, hair and rectum to function as if he were still a teenager.
To that end, he takes dozens of nutritional supplements, adheres to a strict vegan diet, does intense workouts several times a week, a monitors his vital signs.
