The actor remained surprised by women’s reaction on social media about his appearance, but he willingly shares the key to his youthfulness.
Hollywood actor Ernie Hudson is currently in the spotlight due to his new film “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire,” the fifth installment of the “Ghostbusters” franchise.
As a result, he’s quite prominent in the public eye, and Hudson’s latest photos have become one of the main topics on social media.
The reason: Ernie Hudson looks phenomenal at 78, even better than when he starred in the cult film “Ghostbusters” (1984) in his thirties.
“How is it possible that a year and a half before his 80th birthday, a man looks like this?” “Ernie Hudson is a vampire,” “Sweet Jesus, I’m drooling over someone’s grandpa,” “Tell me his biography data isn’t accurate, was he born in 1945?”… are some of the comments regarding the famous actor’s appearance.
The Secret to Ernie Hudson’s Youthful Appearance
Ernie Hudson appeared at the London promotion of his new film in jeans and a black short-sleeved shirt that accentuated his biceps, with his recognizable mustache and short haircut. He doesn’t deny that compliments flatter him.
“It’s nice to be noticed. And I’m somewhat surprised these days,” Hudson says modestly.
He emphasizes that he has always looked more or less the same, so he’s puzzled by this sudden public enthusiasm.
“I’ve always been in what is considered good shape,” says the actor, who has beaten cancer twice, and emphasizes that he has always strived to prioritize his health.
He was first diagnosed with prostate cancer in 1998, and then with rectal cancer in 2011. In both cases, the actor received a timely diagnosis and started treatment, which proved to be effective.
“My career wasn’t such that I had to focus on the physical aspect. For me, the most important thing is to stay healthy, that’s a matter of reason,” he emphasizes. “I see all these ‘pumped-up’ guys, with huge arms and abs and all that, but my career wasn’t about that.”
