Bryan Johnson is a 47-year-old tech entrepreneur and venture capitalist, renowned for founding Braintree, a mobile and web payment system company that acquired Venmo and was later sold to PayPal for $800 million in 2013.
In recent years Johnson has gained significant attention for his ambitious anti-aging endeavour known as “Project Blueprint.” This initiative involves a rigorous daily regimen aimed at reversing the aging process and extending his lifespan. His routine includes taking over 100 supplements daily, adhering to a strict vegan diet, engaging in intensive workouts, and undergoing experimental treatments such as gene therapy and plasma transfusions. Johnson reportedly spends approximately $2 million annually on these efforts.
Johnson’s quest for immortality is the subject of the Netflix documentary Don’t Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever, directed by Chris Smith.
Released on January 1, 2025, the film provides an in-depth look at his daily routines, the scientific basis of his methods, and the personal motivations driving his pursuit of eternal life. The documentary also explores the controversies and criticisms surrounding his practices, offering a balanced perspective on the feasibility and ethics of his anti-aging experiments.
Speaking to former New York Times journalist Bari Weiss, Johnson admitted to getting the COVID-19 vaccine, only to later regret it.
When asked why, he said, “I want to trust the systems that produce science… Their role is to give me data and they didn’t. They swayed my opinion, and that is an improper use of power.”
Speaking generally of vaccines he said they were a “Holy War”.
“Vaccines are a holy war. No one is engaged in a scientific method. It is just like a political fight mechanism.”

Sorry Bryan, taking 100 supplement a day and being vegan – you off to a bade start
That documentary is insane.
Up at 4:30am, 64 pills. Exercise for 2 hrs, shower and eat veggies. More pills. Last meal for the day at 11:30am. Hours and hours more running and weightlifting. Couple of big injections. Lights out strictly at 20:30 sharp. And he has to follow this itinerary EVERY SINGLE DAY. If he ever drops the routine or runs out of money it’s all been for naught.
That’s not a life, it’s a prison sentence.
Even if you get 120 years out of it, who cares, what’s the point?
We are all in some way a little mad. But this one….
Well he’s not going to live forever now is he?
Sounds good when you’re young and wealthy.
I’m a 72 yr old retired factory worker living on a basic pension in good shape/health.
STILL, looking forward to the day I leave this rock, tired of the struggle.👍
This individual is the epitome of narcissism.
Who wants an egocentric like that to live forever? At what cost? At the expense of what other humans who likely work in very unhealthy, un-normal and technocratic/industrial circumstances just to get the sustenance to be able to work the next day for a parasite like that?
