Biohacker Bryan Johnson has compared himself to “Jesus” and offered to “take care” of Donald Trump, while demanding access to the US President’s health data. The 49-year-old tech millionaire, known for spending around £1.6million a year on his quest to live forever, believes he shares the “same lineage” as the Son of God.
Johnson’s Religious Comparison
In an interview with The Telegraph, Johnson said: “If you go back through time, any religious figure who has tried to say this is how you understand life and death, and here’s what you do to solve life and death. I’m in that same lineage,” name-checking Jesus, the Buddha and Mohammed.
He added: “So it’s the first time there’s been an opening in 2000 years; a thawing of how humans think about: ‘Do I believe in an afterlife? Do I not?’”
Offer to Trump
The divorced father of three is the face of the “Blueprint” protocol, an algorithm-driven lifestyle intended to radically slow or reverse ageing. He has previously turned his body into a living lab, including swapping blood plasma with his teenage son, taking dozens of pills daily, following a strict vegan diet, and tracking everything from sleep to night-time erections.
His most viral stunt involved receiving a litre of blood plasma from his then 17-year-old son, but he later abandoned the monthly exchanges after six months, saying tests showed “no benefit”.
Now Johnson has turned his attention to Trump, 78, insisting world leaders have already sought his help. “I would love to take care of Trump,” he said. He suggested even Trump’s famously unhealthy habits could be negotiated rather than banned outright. “It’s often a bargain... like OK, Mr President, you can have your McDonald’s if you also have a certain sleep schedule,” he said.
Scientific Criticism
The Trump pitch comes as UK university scientists claim his extreme regime is heavily flawed, as previously reported by The Daily Star. Johnson was earlier forced to stop taking the anti-ageing prescription drug rapamycin after it triggered soft-tissue infections, spiked his blood sugar and ruined his cholesterol.
Dr David Clancy, Lecturer in Biogerontology at Lancaster University, warned that much of the tech mogul's regime relies on outdated science. Speaking exclusively to the Daily Star, he explained that taking stacks of antioxidant pills can actually block the natural benefits of a simple workout.
“Exercise is still way more effective than any known drug or treatment regime,” Dr Clancy said. “If you take antioxidant supplements and are exercising, they will actually block most of the positive anti-ageing effects of that exercise.”
