One of the world’s most iconic and controversial leaders in the anti-aging sphere just made a massive decision that’s guaranteed to change the longevity movement forever: Bryan Johnson just walked into the sea after announcing that he only ever wanted to live long enough to see the live-action Lilo And Stitch.
Farewell Bryan! You will be missed, but you are forever alive in our hearts.
Bryan explained his decision to end his life in the ocean in an amazingly moving Instagram post that he published early yesterday morning. “When I first saw the animated version of Lilo And Stitch in 2002, I knew I had to refuse to die until I had a chance to see the live-action version of this film, and do everything in my power to fight off death until I could achieve this goal,” he wrote. “Now that I have seen what Stitch looks like as a real-life man, and what Lilo looks like as a real-life girl, and what Hawaii looks like as a real-life place, I no longer need to be alive. Nothing better will ever happen to me, and there is no purpose for my continued existence. It is time for me to die in the ocean. Goodbye.”
Damn. It’s powerful words like these that have made Bryan such a charismatic and influential figure in the anti-aging movement.
Shortly after publishing his Instagram post, Bryan took a Waymo to a beach in Malibu, California and slowly, silently walked into the ocean. Other beachgoers tried to restrain him and stop him from approaching the water, but Johnson repelled them with pepper spray. When an eyewitness shouted, “Bryan! Why are you doing this?” Johnson replied, “I have seen what Jumbo Jukiba looks like as a real, three-dimensional man, and so human existence is useless for me now.” He then disappeared beneath the waves and never returned.
Absolutely incredible. Regardless of how you feel about Bryan Johnson’s fight against aging, you’ve got to admit that this is one of the most beautiful and powerful things anyone has ever done! While it’s sad that Bryan is no longer with us in the physical realm, he has nevertheless achieved a form of immortality, because he will live forever in our memories as a man whose passion for the live-action Lilo And Stitch movie allowed him to transcend death. We’re so happy he was able to fulfill his ultimate purpose!
