1 Dec
Summary
- Paul Anka, 84, maintains health through olive oil and fasting.
- TikTok's viral resurgence introduced Anka to a new teen audience.
- A documentary on his life and career is set for release.
At 84, music icon Paul Anka is reflecting on his enduring career and longevity, attributing his sustained vitality to a rigorous wellness routine. He avoids vices like drinking and smoking, instead focusing on habits such as consuming olive oil, lemon juice, weekly fasting, and regular exercise. Anka also emphasizes the importance of minimizing stress in his life to maintain his health and creative drive.
An unexpected boost to his global audience has come from TikTok, where teenagers have embraced his 1959 hit, 'Put Your Head on My Shoulder.' This viral phenomenon has dramatically broadened his fanbase, with a significant portion of concert attendees now being young fans. This renewed popularity coincides with the upcoming release of the HBO Max documentary, 'Paul Anka: His Way,' on December 1st.
The documentary promises to trace Anka's remarkable journey, including the creation of Frank Sinatra's signature anthem 'My Way' at just 24 and his generous decision to give Johnny Carson half the publishing rights for the Tonight Show theme. Still actively creating, Anka is preparing to release a new album, 'Inspirations of Life and Love,' early next year, demonstrating his continued presence in the music world.
