“At 65, I Feel Like I’m Living An Extra Time” – Veteran Actor RMD

Veteran Nollywood actor Richard Mofe-Damijo, popularly known as RMD, has opened up about life at 65, saying he feels like he is “living an extra time.”

Speaking on a recent episode of The Morayo Show, the actor said he is grateful to still be alive, especially because neither of his parents lived to the age of 60.

“Being 65, I feel like I am living an extra time right now. My parents didn’t make 60.

“My life is one of gratitude. I’m happy to be alive and Nigerian at this moment where more people are self-employed than ever in the world,” he said.

RMD also shared the secret behind his youthful appearance and energy.

According to him, eating healthy, exercising regularly and maintaining a positive mindset have helped him stay young.

“I eat right and exercise.

“But there is something that I abide by which was said by another older person: the only way for an old person to stay young, is to never let the old person in.

“So, I do not in anyway let the old person in. I could have been dressing like an old person but I maintain classy fashion.

“My eldest child is 43, and till today, he still looks at me whenever I dress and just hiss. But I’m not giving up now. There’s no way I’m going to give up,” he said.
