How is Mick Jagger so slim?

[soupfiend]

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.

MJ is very disciplined with food, exercise and business. He has wealth (which he has earned) and the time, determination and support to be extremely fit for his age. The drugs and rock n roll Mick is years and years ago.

I think she's stunning

I saw them about 3 years ago, the man danced like a 20 year old for the whole concert, he's very fit!

My dh never gains weight and neither did his dad or any of his siblings. He doesn't smoke and has an odd glass of wine. He is 70 and works hard in the garden and walks the dog. He was very athletic in his younger years and has a fast metabolism and is always on the go. When he was getting measured for a new suit the guy said we rarely see men of your age with that waist..30 inches. And he eats..eggs everyday for breakfast/ big dinner/ loves chocolate and has an odd takeaway. He does have a higher cholesterol level than me though!!
At the moment all the dc take after him in physique .

Have you heard Jennifer Saunders tell the story of the night she and Ade Edmondson went for dinner at Mick and Jerry's? Awful school dinner type food and no booze.

My sister has had 3 children and she is has flat as pancake she eats more than me she is just that one that stays slim.
Her children 2 of them are big kids 3rd one like her mum.
Her partner is the same. Their just very slim people eat anything no gain.
Me however i have a cupcake 14 pounds added to my hips face and everywhere else.

God, this really throws it into perspective doesn't it? She genuinely is gorgeous. He looks like he's been melted.

I know a record producer who has worked with them, and said they all sit around the studios wasted as fuck, then before they need to record a doctor comes in and hooks them up to vitamin drips to juice them up.

I think there's skinny and then there's healthily slim, and they are two different things.

Drugs and dancing

He is really into yoga.

We’re all different. I’m not gloating just fact 45, I’m pretty much the same as I have always been. My friends say I should be fat! No drugs for me though.

He was that size when he was young. Some people are just slim all their lives.

I understand that he does ballet every day. He is the same age as my dad.... My dad snarls when I remind him of that fact

Keith credits longevity with high quality drugs, not the street crap full of all kinds of shit

From a Sunday supplement, his dad taught PE and he's always followed an exercise ethic
His preparation for live tours covers 9 months or so with practising kicks, strutting and dancing etc. There are some on line vids of his practice

I watched them on Sky and thought he looked skeletal, not a good look.
Got to hand it to him though, he moves none stop, truly amazing for his age, in fact all of them are.

I saw some of Bowies stage outfits at the V and A exhibition a few years ago, they were tiny, I don’t think he was particularly short ( I will google later!) but was as thin as a skinny rake.

He was 5 ft 9. Or 1.79 m.

I read somewhere the booze and drugs were an affectation, that Keith Richards might have been drinking out of a whisky bottle, but it had coloured water in it.
They are/were extremely disciplined. Face it you can't be a decent musician if you're pissed and stoned and off your face.

Many of the older rockers are whippet thin, Roger Daltry, Jimmy Paige and Roger Waters for example, l lived near a very famous rocker and he was incredibly thin.

Didn't KR get multiple blood transfusions to get the heroin out of his system to pass the USA drug tests?

This.

He ditched an unhealthy rock n roll lifestyle decades ago.

It's an image that persists but, the truth is, he lives a healthy lifestyle and makes good choices.

I read somewhere that they're notoriously disciplined and live very healthy lives - some of the rock and roll stories are just stories. Vegan diets, yoga and other exercise, etc. It may be partly true, they're certainly putting a lot of younger artists to shame, energetically speaking. I suspect there's a bit of stoicism there too - they're too old for the self pity imavictim stuff.

I’ve always marvelled at his teeny skinniness too, but some men just have that skinny frame (as well as the dancing and whatever else he does to avoid putting on weight). My DS is now similar, he’s grown taller and taller but is still a v small hip/waist size. John cooper Clarke’s another one. Almost unbelievably slim.

How the stones keep going though does baffle me. I’ve done gigging and it’s exhausting. Their joints alone must be superhuman.

Oh don't be daft, you couldn't perform like he does if your post was true, just think about it 🤔

love this

and thanks for the earworm
