But actually, what the show points out is that there’s no time too early to start thinking about these questions.”During the six-part series, Hesworth strives to master different ways to hack his body in order to slow the ageing process and improve his health in later life. This journey often showcases the beauty of the natural world with dramatic cinematography and provides a window into the Hollywood star’s life.
