Bryan Johnson: Messiah or midlife crisis?

The tech entrepreneur turned longevity crusader wants to turn back the clock on his life to look, feel and perform like a man half his age. But what’s his real agenda? Just to have smoother skin, a healthier heart and a harder erection? Or is he on a one-man mission to save humanity from itself?

Bryan Johnson: Under The Skin

American tech entrepreneur Bryan Johnson had it all. Money, success, respect. The cars, the clothes, the Silicon Valley superstar lifestyle.

But it had come at a cost. To both his body and mind. He realised that what he really wanted more than anything else – his health and his youth – were gone. Because it doesn’t matter how much money you have in the bank, nothing can stop the relentless march of Father Time.

Or can it?

Johnson decided to find out. So he began a multi-million-dollar one-man mission to create Blueprint, a rejuvenation and longevity protocol, designed not only to his stop his body from biologically ageing but to actually reverse the aging process to reclaim his lost youth. (You can find out more about Blueprint here.)

Last month Johnson turned 46. So what’s driving his desire? Is he just another lost soul in a long line of rich middle-aged men wasting their time and money on an exercise in vanity to look, feel and perform like a man half his age?

Or is his ultimate ambition bigger than that? Is his a trans-generational goal, in which he solves the mysteries of aging and death that have captivated humanity since the dawn of time, so he can live forever in a state of eternal youth?

If so, is Johnson ready for immortality? And what are the implications for his family? And, more importantly, what does his mission mean for you, and for your parents and your children, and for everyone you love and care about?

In an exclusive Under the Skin interview, editor-in-chief Joe Warner flew to meet Johnson at his LA home to discover exactly what drives someone to spend tens of millions of dollars of their own money on a seemingly impossible quest; how he copes with the avalanche of abuse, criticism and ridicule that hits him every time he shares a snapshot of his life online; and what his successes and failures will mean for every single one of us.
