‘Anti-ageing activist’ Bryan Johnson receives criticism after sharing his pics from 2018-2024

It seems everyone is getting to the point where they incorporate anti-aging regimes and medications into their diet and daily life. We get it! It is always a fortunate thing when one stays looking young and radiant.

46-year-old Bryan Johnson, a known technologist from California, has been investing about $2 million annually on an anti-aging routine to ‘reverse his age.’ He has been known for his mission named ‘Project Blueprint’ which aims for him to eternally walk this earth.

As far as the Blueprint project goes, he undergoes a meticulous process of nutritional pills and drinks intake, a strict routine of diet and workout, even sleeping with glasses that have blue light blockers and having over 30 doctors monitoring his health.

Recently, Johnson shared some of his photos on X (formerly known as Twitter) from 2018, 2023, and 2024 to show how much he has changed over the years.

“Even my iPhone is confused. I’m transitioning,” the biotechnology powerhouse wrote.

Many users were confused as to what Johnson was ‘transitioning’ to, some expressed their preference for his 2018 physique to his present-day look, and a handful of responders shared how Johnson looks older than his actual age.

One user commented, “Tries to stop ageing… Proceeds to age quicker.”

Johnson’s showcase of how much he has transformed over the years did not get positive feedback from his followers, though he has mentioned back in September 2023 that he no longer cares about the criticisms he receives.

“The troll inside my head is much more vicious than the trolls I get online. When I was depressed and my brain would constantly say to me, ‘Life is hopeless,’ I had to basically say, ‘I don’t care what you’re going to say.’ And ultimately, it lost its power. And I’ve seen that happen as people troll me and I play with them. Like, it’s honestly not even interesting anymore.”

Although he might have questionable ways of ditching death, such as getting his blood swapped with his 17-year-old son and keeping track of his erections, Johnson remained unfazed by all the negative feedback he has been receiving and has his head focused on his ultimate goal: Don’t Die.
