He’s taken over social media with his quest to live forever, but now Bryan Johnson is taking his anti-aging obsession to Netflix.
The tech millionaire, who has become widely known for his efforts to extend his life, will be featured in a documentary about his mission.
Don’t Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever will stream on January 1 and take viewers behind Johnson’s journey so far, including experimental medical procedures, strict diets and grueling workout routines – all at a very high price.
According to Tudum, Netflix’s own publication, the documentary will take a deep dive into Johnson’s psyche.
“(It will) reveal the dramatic shifts that took the entrepreneur from his own personal struggles to devoting his time and energy – and a significant portion of his fortune – to living long beyond even the most ambitious human life expectancy,” it said report.
Johnson first caught the attention of documentary filmmaker Chris Smith, who was immediately fascinated by the 47-year-old.
“Last year I saw a headline about a guy who was spending $2 million a year to turn 18 again,” Smith said. Netflix’s Tudum.
‘That initial curiosity led to a twelve-month journey in which we followed Bryan Johnson’s quest and its effect on those closest to him, while interviewing experts from around the world to gain a better understanding of the people who are trying to live healthier longer,” he explained.

Smith even admitted that making the documentary convinced him to live a better life himself.
“A year later, I drink less, go to bed earlier and wear a ring that tells me how bad my sleep is,” he said.
Johnson has often sparked controversy over his extreme methods of turning back his age.
Last year, he enlisted both his teenage son and father for a three-generation blood exchange treatment in an attempt to “rejuvenate” their bodies.
During the procedure, a liter of blood was drawn from Johnson and son Talmage.
Talmage’s plasma was fed into Johnson’s veins, while Johnson’s plasma was injected into Richard.
He theorizes that the infusion of “young blood” can repair age-related damage to cells, lowering biological age.
The biohacker has also claimed that he takes a hundred supplements a day, eats 30 kilos of pureed vegetables a month and has had more than 33,000 photos taken of the inside of his intestines.

His latest procedure involved extracting fat cells from parts of the body, such as the thighs and abdomen, and injecting them into the less voluminous face to stimulate and restore volume to the skin.
However, Johnson explained that he didn’t have enough fat on his own body, forcing him to use a donor.
The California-based biohacker, who made $800 million from the sale of his company Braintree, has spent millions of dollars trying to reverse his physical age.
He claims he now has the heart of a 37-year-old, the skin of a 28-year-old and the fitness of an 18-year-old after taking on the highly regimented program in 2020.
The tech mogul has also previously spoken about his skincare routine, admitting that he tries to minimize the time he spends in the sun by only going out in the early morning or evening when the UV index is low.
