The Mysterious Story of Marshall Bruce Mathers, or Why Eminem Doesn't Age
This year, Eminem's rap icon, Marshall Bruce Mathers III, celebrated his half-century anniversary. It's hard to believe, but the young Slim Shady turned 50, he has an adult daughter, a beauty, and it is quite possible that he will soon become a grandfather. At the same time, the musician's appearance has hardly changed over the past 20 years. Well, or so it seems to us. What is the secret of Eminem's eternal youth?
There are many hypotheses about why Eminem does not age. There is even an assumption that the real rapper has been retired for a long time or even died, and instead of him, cunning producers show doubles. But in fact, the Eminem we see is quite original, as his close friends and the most loyal fans can confirm. But no one is in a hurry to explain the secret of Marshall's eternal youth.
Nevertheless, there are two completely scientific explanations for why we are all nearing the end, and Eminem is forever stuck in adolescence. The first of them is associated with such a concept as "agelessness". It is applied to people whose age cannot be visually determined. There are a lot of them among celebrities. For example, British actor Eddie Redmayne looks like a young tomboy in his 40s.
At the same time, an ageless person does not necessarily always look young. There are many examples when people get old and then remain as if preserved for decades. As an example, we can name Sophia Loren, whom everyone remembers either young and beautiful, or already aged and also beautiful. Yes, we are not talking now about cases when youth is preserved with the help of plastic surgery, more on that later.
Agelessness is most often associated with good heredity. Youngish people often have the same ageless ancestors. Lifestyle, nutrition, regime, profession, habits and even place of residence also play a role. Yes, if a person won the genetic lottery, but did not spare himself, he will still not be fresh as a peach by the age of 50. Therefore, we proceed immediately to the second hypothesis, which is more realistic.
Everyone knows that life has been beating Eminem hard since childhood. He grew up in a dysfunctional family, which he told about more than once in his songs. In addition, for most of his life, the rapper was prone to abuse. He himself said that there was a place for alcohol and drugs in his life. In addition, in his early years, the musician was also an avid smoker, but then he quit.
The rapper has repeatedly stated his addiction to prescription drugs, which he took in horse doses. These are tranquilizers and painkillers, including vicodin, valium and zolpidem. Eminem admitted that he took 40 to 60 valium tablets a day! Once he almost died in his own bathroom from an overdose of methadone, but he was miraculously discovered in time and saved.
Given all this, one can doubt Marshall's natural agelessness. For many years, photos have been discussed in which Eminem's face radically changes in a very short time. It was they who caused the rumors about celebrity doubles. But experts tend to believe that the musician is simply addicted to plastic surgery and his appearance is the result of braces and the introduction of filers.
Many stars resort to plastic surgery, among which there are many men. Relatively recently, another eternally young macho Ben Affleck was accused of loving rejuvenating procedures. Recently, Ben has lost a lot and his face looks swollen and his skin is stretched. Doctors claim that this is the result of flirting with "injections of youth".
On the web, you can find a lot of photos where Eminem is shot unexpectedly, from an arbitrary angle and without concert makeup. These pictures show that not everything is so simple with his face. There are photos in which the rapper looks terrible. It is likely that not all interventions of surgeons and cosmetologists go smoothly.
But what can you do, because young age is one of Eminem's chips, most of whose fans are teenagers. And who said that a man can't use the achievements of plastic surgery?
