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.

Crack!

soupfiend · 03/02/2024 21:48

Coke in the old days Im sure, but not so much now I wouldnt have thought and certainly not crack, they wouldnt be able to function.

Isnt Mick the business leader or something?

Thin people dont eat. Its simple.

I really is not that simple.

Some thin people eat loads and can't gain weight. They hate it. I have a good friend who was out on a weight gain programme of 4000 calories a day. She gained no weight.
Some overweight people eat very little.

It's about metabolism x calories in x activity calories.

I saw a clip of the Stones earlier this evening on a TV programme about the 1960s. DH was laughing about the way Mick J was dancing - but as I said to DH, 50 years on and he still dances like that on stage. I'm not really a Stones fan (imo they "lost it" when Brian Jones died) but Mick J is incredible.

Justfinking · 03/02/2024 21:49

He may be slim, he also looks about 300 years old, always has. Drugs, booze, fags

Thehamsterthatcametotea · 03/02/2024 21:50

It’s all that swingin' and swayin' while he’s dancing in the street.

WinterDeWinter · 03/02/2024 21:50

I don’t think they can do big drugs now or they wouldn’t be alive.

I expect they got used to eating duck all when they were speed freaks. And he dances like a hyperactive person so possibly is? He actually looks like he does serious yoga I think or maybe martial arts?

Having said that, I know a posh heroin addict in his late 60s, same wiry physique.

FictionalCharacter · 03/02/2024 21:50

He's an exercise fanatic isn't he? Runs a lot? I saw a clip of him running backwards, saying it's good for fitness (or maybe he's pulling our legs)

FaiIureToLunch · 03/02/2024 21:52

Guarantee it’s a combo is Pilates fags and personal chef

Yes I think when I was young and didnt really know anything I thought he looked a bit of an idiot, like 'why cant he dance'.

He is incredible, the male Tina Turner

I love him throwing himself around now, looks great, wish I could do all that.

He strikes me as someone who has lots of nervous energy

RestingPassportFace · 03/02/2024 21:53

He's filled a pram eight times and is with a very beautiful ex-ballerina who is 44 years younger than him.
He's 80 now.
I still reckon he's shagging. Might need a blue pill but they're definitely still doing it.
The guy's awesome.

Always has?

Theres a picture up thread of him from when he was younger, he was very pretty

It's funny that people think he has smoked, drunk and taken lots of drugs. In fact he has always been super controlled, very conscious of his diet and exercised a lot. I think the idea that he has over indulged aligns with his image as a rock god but in RL he's a disciplined businessman.

Has anyone read Ade Edmunson's account of visiting his house? MJ comes across as an abstemious, grouchy bore.

Well Im not going to lie, its what I said to OH!!

But they seem 'preserved'. They're incredibly lucky health wise to be honest.

Preserved, or pickled? Smile

Caused by coke!

headstone · 03/02/2024 21:56

He has some serious heart issues so I don’t think he’s that healthy.

LoreleiG · 03/02/2024 21:37

It must be all that dancing.

and the shagging!

I think I saw an interview with Rod Stewart where he was saying that Keith thinks the Stones are all down to him but its down to Mick, they would have gone bust/split up/been failures if it hadnt been for Mick's discipline and business acumen

Hes in his 70s (or 80s), a lot of elderly people have heart issues at that age!!!!!

This is going to sound weird, I never fancied him or thought of him as attractive and I I always preferred the Beatles’ music. Then I saw him dancing very recently and I was like phwoar I get it now, I can see why he’s always been so popular and now I really like him and his music.

NaughtyBoyGeorgeMichaelJacksonBrown · 03/02/2024 21:58

I remember reading that his regime was to only eat every other day. Either Mick Jagger or Steven Tyler anyway!

Edited

When I started paying attention and particularly seeing him in interviews, I totally got why he managed to seduce all these different women. He is very attractive in lots of ways.
