Pictures of biohacker before he began spending $2,000,000 a year to 'live forever' leave people stunned

Biohacker Bryan Johnson has shocked his followers with before and after photos of himself.

Johnson has become famous as the man who wants to 'live forever' and spends $2 million a year to achieve such a seemingly impossible feat.

One way he was trying to prolong his life was by taking a so-called longevity drug, but the 47-year-old biohacker had to stop taking it in September 2024 because of the symptoms he was having.

Johnson said that he experienced 'intermittent skin/soft tissue infections, lipid abnormalities, glucose elevations, and increased resting heart rate' from taking the drug.

He often keeps people updated on his age-reversing progress on social media, and last year shared some before and after shots of him over the course of his journey.

There were three photos: one from 2018, 2023, and 2024.

Johnson captioned the Twitter post: "Even my Face ID is confused. I'm transitioning..."

People were quick to react to Johnson's now-viral tweet, with one comparing him to Benjamin Button.

"Bro’s got that benjamin button," they commented at the time.

"Wow!! This is crazy, I wonder how much my appearance would change with such evolution of my own health and lifestyle," wrote a second person.

"We think of our self image is static but if people track their face across their lifetime we would be blown away," they continued.

"A few more phases and you and your son will be identical," another went on to say of Johnson and his teenage son.

While children usually cause their parents to age, Johnson's son may have actually helped keep his father looking youthful.

But it's not from being an angelic kid that he hasn't caused his dad to age, but because Johnson swapped his blood with some of the teens.

From his son's blood (which was separated into a batch of liquid plasma and then a batch of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets), Johnson had some of his plasma infused into his veins.

Meanwhile, Johnson gave his then 70-year-old father some of his plasma in what he hailed as 'the world’s first multigenerational plasma exchange'.

Plasma infusions are usually used to treat a variety of conditions, including liver disease, burns, and blood disorders, rather than for age-reversing purposes.

Using the procedure for things like age reversal isn't advised by the FDA.

The authority said in a 2019 statement: "The FDA has recently become aware of reports of establishments in several states that are offering infusions of plasma from young donors to purportedly treat the effects of a variety of conditions.

"The conditions range from normal aging and memory loss to serious diseases like dementia, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, heart disease or post-traumatic stress disorder.

"We have significant public health concerns about the promotion and use of plasma for these purposes. There is no proven clinical benefit of infusion of plasma from young donors to cure, mitigate, treat, or prevent these conditions, and there are risks associated with the use of any plasma product."
