Tech Millionaire Who Used 17-YO Son’s Plasma for Anti-Aging Jokes About the Incident in an Unusual Way; Gets Bashed by Fans Instead: “Cringe AF”

Tech millionaire Bryan Johnson is facing backlash after making an unusual joke. He humorously represents the use of his 17-year-old son’s plasma for anti-aging purposes. The fitness enthusiast, known for his quest to live over 120 years, shared a video on Instagram featuring himself and his son, Talmage Johnson.

According to the post, he has been engaging in a plasma exchange procedure in an unexpended way. In the video, they humorously demonstrated the process using visual effects and editing techniques. Accompanying the video, Johnson wrote, “If you’re doubting having children, here’s one good reason.”

This lighthearted approach to a serious medical procedure didn’t sit well with many online users. They openly criticized Johnson for making a joke out of the video and the situation. Johnson is known for his unconventional anti-aging methods, from a red light cap to using blue lights and having over 100 pills to accomplish his unique goal.

Even last year, he turned the spotlight on him by undergoing a plasma exchange with his teenage son. According to Johnson, this was the first instance of multigenerational blood plasma exchange in human history. Johnson cited earlier experiments involving mice as inspiration for his unconventional approach. In these experiments, researchers observed that when older mice received plasma from younger mice, they showed signs of reversing aging.

Building on this research, Johnson decided to try the procedure with his own family, himself, his son, and his father participating in the groundbreaking exchange. On May 22, 2023, Johnson proudly announced in his Instagram post, “My son, father, and I completed the world’s first multi-generational plasma exchange.” Despite Johnson’s enthusiasm for his unconventional approach to anti-aging, many online users found his joke inappropriate and criticized him.

Fans criticize Bryan Johnson and disapprove of the plasma exchange!

Netizen implies that the father’s quest for longevity might outlast his son’s lifespan. Such a comment read, “Someone tell this kid he isn’t inheriting anything if his dad outlives him.“ Despite investing millions, people believe Bryan Johnson still appears to be older than his actual age. “All that Money for what? He still looks like 50+!“ added one user. People humorously refer to traditional methods may be just as effective, or even more so, than modern bio-hacking techniques. “What happened to old-fashioned way, drinking the blood of a virgin under a full moon?”

In addition, fitness fanatics criticize the quality of the visual effects (VFX) used in Bryan Johnson’s video, saying, “Biohacking is cool but bad vfx? I don’t think so.“ One disapproved of Bryan Johnson’s content, “That’s cringe AF.“ According to a few, “You both (Bryan Johnson and his son) should spend some time in the sun.”
