Bryan Johnson—the world’s foremost anti-aging advocate/influencer/freak show geek—first caught our collective eye as the tech millionaire obsessed with staving off death for as long as possible and willing to do outlandish things to that end. Hyperfixated on prolonging the inevitable, the Bryan we initially met had no qualms proclaiming to the world that he was injecting the blood and tracking the boners of his very own son in pursuit of this elusive goal. For obvious reasons, this sort of self-sacrificial spectacle was catnip for journalists who initially promoted profiles on this curious specimen in the language of P.T. Barnum. Bryan’s 15 minutes could have ended there, but he proved to be such an earnest, quirky, and occasionally likable crowd-pleaser in the press that certain segments of the internet welcomed him as a new entry in the menagerie of “weird guys to be aware of.” Mercifully, fame seems to have actually injected some semblance of normalcy into Bryan’s life. Former gawkers now somehow find ourselves in the role of well-wishers as a 48-year-old man overshares about doing drugs with and going down on his new girlfriend, who seems to be a real positive presence in his life.
