A bit random I know but theres a show on Sky now, or I might be watching it on catch up, a gig by the Stones, obviously some time ago, Charlie is still there and some mention is being made of Ronnie getting married

Ronnie is also really thin and Keith is slim

Is it all the activity, gigging, Jack Daniels?

Not even a slight paunch on them. Charlie too.

Drugs and fags I imagine

Boobettes · 03/02/2024 21:33

Someone will be along to mention drugs I expect.

But the truth is some people eat less than others and some have faster metabolisms, so who knows.

He’s always been very slim….in that respect, he’s barely changed at all!

Old, used to have a lifestyle of drugs & smoking, so likely didn't eat much and just did that, now not used to being a big eater as never has been so still super slim, maybe.

aitchteeaitch · 03/02/2024 21:39

Naturally slim. My DH is like that - he eats like a horse and is built like a racing snake.

Lol That's simply not true.

theduchessofspork · 03/02/2024 21:39

He values being thin I guess?

I read once his treat is a rich tea biscuit… but even as I type that I imagine it’s a roll in the penthouse, which is also good for weight loss.

You need to tell my son that. He chomps through about 6000 calories a day and has a bmi of 17. For some people there's is something rlse going on, snd it's not hours at the gym or exercise either

He does not have the physique of old men I know. His posture is very straight and he seems very flexible.

NewYear24 · 03/02/2024 21:42

I don’t think he looks like he has a typical old man physique, he looks really trim and his body looks and moves like a much younger man.
I guess it’s got to be not much food and a very active lifestyle.

Remaker · 03/02/2024 21:43

My brother has that physique - has always been tall and slim. Is now in his 60s and hasn’t changed. He doesn’t think about what he eats although he’s never had a sweet tooth and he’s always favoured spicy food from SE Asia rather than stodgy stuff.

I saw the Rolling Stones exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery a few years ago.

It had thier stage costumes going back to the 60's. They are all tiny. Really very small. Finely boned and not very tall. They will never carry much weight.

He's very toned, very toned muscly arms but not big. Ronnies arms are the same
