He added, “The bottom line is, you cannot roll the clock back.

I was in the middle of a disaster.

So now how do I get out of it?

You have to shift gears.

He explained that he was emboldened to get back into shape to filmDark Fate.

“When I started shootingTerminator 6, I was all back together again.”

“Show business is another part of my life.

I add in my life, I never subtract…

I love everything that I do.

There’s no retiring.

I’m still on this side of the grass, so I’m happy.

My plan is to live forever and so far, so good!”
