J.K. Simmons didn’t always have that steel physique.
At 54, he was overweight and out of shape—until he made a decision that changed his life: “I didn’t take training seriously until 15 years ago; I lost 24,5 kg that year”.
That was when he made a commitment with no expiration date: to stay in shape forever.
At 61, his trainer posted photos of him preparing for Justice League, and the internet couldn’t believe it. “I forget that he’s 61. Much respect for this man”, his coach said.
Today, at 71, with an Oscar for Whiplash in his trophy case, Simmons demonstrates something simple: the body you’ll have in 10 years depends on what you decide today.
Age was never the limit. The excuse was.
