Speaking in a recent episode of The Moraya Show, the movie legend described his life as a one of gratitude. "Being 65, I feel like I am living an extra time right now. My parents didn't make 60. "My life is one of gratitude. I'm happy to be alive and Nigerian at this moment where more people are self-employed than ever in the world," he stated. On the secret of his youthful look and vibrant energy at 65, RMD said, "I eat right and exercise. "But there is something that I abide by which was said by another older person: the only way for an old person to stay young, is to never let the old person in. "So, I do not in anyway let the old person in. I could have been dressing like an old person but I maintain classy fashion. "My eldest child is 43, and till today, he still looks at me whenever I dress and just hiss. But I'm not giving up now. There's no way I'm going to give up."
