Kirk Douglas is a whopping 90 years old, and sure, to look at him, you can tell he’s lived a lot of years here on the planet earth, but I can’t say that I’d guess he’s 90 years old, and that’s thanks to a strict regimen he follows at the gym every day, and also I’m sure some healthy living that most of us aren’t bent on enough to be able to live to this ripe an age in still good health. 

He’s able to walk around fine, and aside from a speech impediment, he has clear thoughts and is mentally sharp.  He just came out with a book too.  In the book, Kirk, known for being a Hollywood icon back in the glory days of Hollywood movies, when movies were still good, is supposed to be pretty upfront and honest about a lot of things in his new book too, including his desire to be in more movies but his thoughts that he wouldn’t get hired because of his speech problems. 

He and his wife Anne live in Beverly Hills, and Kirk maintains an active lifestyle and still looks healthy and vibrant for his age, with the distinct looks he had in his younger days, he definitely looks like a guy who was a real looker in his day too, you can just tell. 

He has said that he wishes he would have cherished his friends more, because being ninety now, he has seen the loss of so many.  Makes me think of my friends, and how I just seem too busy to hang out with them a lot any more, and how said I’ll be when they eventually go.  His book really makes you think about taking life by the cajones, and not putting things off, because life truly is short.  Now that’s a man to look up to!  He’s a class act, and hopefully we’ll have him around for many more years!
