Bryan Johnson, the millionaire venture capitalist who has found viral fame for his extreme anti-aging regimen, says he genuinely believes he is going to live forever—or at least close to it. During an appearance on journalist Bari Weiss’ podcast Honestly with Bari Weiss, Johnson simply replied “no” when asked by the host if he thought he was going to die. “You think you’re going to live forever?” Weiss proceeded to ask. “Forever’s not a concept the human mind can contemplate,” Johnson replied. “But will we be able to radically expand life beyond preconceived imaginations? Yes.” The 47-year-old’s experiment to rapidly slow down the rate at which his body is aging, “Project Blueprint,” has been at the center of online fodder since its inception in 2021 and was even the subject of Johnson’s recent Netflix documentary Don’t Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever. His regimen includes regular plasma transfusions from his teenage son, rigorous exercise, a strict diet, and taking 54 pills each morning. He reportedly spends $2 million each year on his quest for immortality.
