When the heat comes, the celebrities show off the work in the gym and the good habits that the rest of the year has chiseled their bodies in the sun. And passing half a century of life long ago stopped being an excuse to take on the bodily changes that at one point or another happen to everyone.
Athletic bodies of public figures have already begun to flood the beaches and social networks with the arrival of the heat and prove that the drive to the gym and healthy life can do wonders even after 50 years.
Ben Affleck (50) proved it this week, despite the excesses and deterioration he has suffered in some periods of his life, he continues to take proud selfies in the bathroom mirror as if he were a teenager satisfied with his first abs. This image was published, to celebrate Father’s Day in the United States, by his wife, Jennifer Lopez (53), another celebrity who is also determined to win the battle against age. Years ago, López left behind the slim figure he used to sport and chose to fill in what could hang due to age with more and more muscle.
As the Bronx singer pointed out, to get a body like that you have to work on it, which is why J.Lo goes to the gym even on Sundays or “when it’s really hot outside”. Weight lifting and muscle-building exercises were traditionally something men practiced, but she and other celebrities have surprised the last few years with an increasingly toned figure.
“Let nothing hold you back. Let alone the years!” is the mantra that Jesús Vázquez (57) repeats. The presenter starred on the cover of Men’s Health this year and proudly admitted: “I’m starting to say: ‘Well, I’ve reached 57 without envying any of the photos from ten years ago'”.
DJ David Guetta (55) chose to improve his body after divorcing his wife, Cathy Lobé, when he was 47. Then he became a regular at the gym and the before and after results are obvious “I’ve changed my diet and I’ve been training for four months, and it’s working. I can tell the difference. It’s spectacular. Therefore, I am happy, it is motivating to see the results”, he said then. In the latest images on a beach in Miami with his young partner, Jessica Ledon (30), the musician is not out of tune, despite the age difference.
Sport is not just a way to get a body of ten. Belén Rueda (58) recently showed off her slenderness on Instagram, promoting a sun cream. But a few years ago, when he turned 50, he assured: “This new decade in my life has more to do with my view on life emotionally than with a physical issue”, alluding to the benefits of the ‘sport, which go beyond having a toned body.
Former Prime Minister José María Aznar (70) has been demonstrating for many years that age is no excuse for staying fit. The images stolen by paparazzi of the ex-politician on the beaches of Marbella are now almost as typical as those of Ana Obregón. In these images, he continues to show abs well into his third age; he always takes his sports bag with him when he travels, and it should be remembered that he revealed at the age of 57 that he only did “600 sit-ups a day”.
It is not known if it is due to the gym or genetics, but who continues to awaken basic instincts three decades later is Sharon Stone (65). The American does not give up, she wants to continue being a sex icon, as she showed off her buttocks saying she was “ready for summer” with an image in a swimsuit inside the house.
Another celebrity who also has no desire to stop using the bikini is Lauren Sánchez (53), the fiancee of Jeff Bezos. He has resorted to the scalpel once, but it is also clear that he spends hours in the gym. A few weeks ago the couple was photographed in the waters off Mallorca launching the new superyacht of the Amazon tycoon, and since then they have been cruising the Mediterranean on a constant honeymoon. He just gave her a $3.5 million ring to seal the deal on their love.
