A self-proclaimed biohacker has made a chilling prediction on how he is going to die.
Bryan Johnson spends $2 million a year on treatments as part of his Project Blueprint and has been in the news for some time over his efforts to 'live forever'.
Since he revealed that he was taking part in an intense experimental medical program so that he could begin 'reversing aging', we have all been watching as he updates his fans on his health.
He has already shared his uber strict diet, that he also uses his son's blood, and more, so it’s understandable why so many people are hooked on his unique journey.

Anyway, the 47-year-old, who has been allegedly able to achieve the 'heart of 37-year-old' and the 'lung capacity of an 18-year-old', made a shocking admission about how he believes he will end up dying.
Of course, it’s not exactly something that we’re all surprised about him stating, as he practically shares every aspect of his life, even going as far as to start sharing his and his son's ‘erection data’, but death is probably the last thing anyone expected him to muse about.
Obviously, with a healthy heart and lungs, those two things can probably be ruled out as causes.
But for other unusual causes, they’re still up in the air.
Taking to Twitter, Johnson wrote: “I guarantee I'm going to die in the most ironic way possible. I hope you all enjoy.”
Fans very much enjoyed this prospect (as he hoped) and gave some strange ways that he could expect to die from.
One person shared: “You’ve mentioned choking on a broccoli but seems like it has to be something even more ridiculous.”
Another wrote: “Or achieving immortality but getting trapped in a crashed submarine at the bottom of the ocean alone or something, and living for five thousand years.”
Someone else said: “The most ironic would be the second coming and you're left behind to live forever.”
In his bid to 'live forever', Johnson did actually admit to making an error.
In a video posted to his YouTube channel earlier this year, he spoke about how he had taken a drug called rapamycin which might have slowed his progress.
The drug can be used to treat cancer or lung diseases, but has also been studied for its anti-ageing properties, something that Johnson is a fan of.
However, the biohacker said he had taken the drug for five years and saw no improvements.
Instead, he developed 'canker’s in his mouth, [a] wound that wouldn't heal fast enough, [and his] blood report showed he had cholesterol disruptions and his blood glucose levels spiked a little bit'.
Johnson added: “Then perhaps the thing that was most painful for me, it increased my resting heart rate, which as you know, is the most important biomarker I track every single day because it is the most influential thing determining my sleep quality.”
So, it’s not all fun doing this expensive program.
