Renowned fitness guru Richard Simmons caused a stir with a Facebook post where he mentioned he was 'dying,' prompting concern among his followers. In the post, Simmons emphasized the importance of living life to the fullest and appreciating each day. He shared wellness tips, advocating for a healthy diet, regular exercise, and nurturing relationships with loved ones.
Simmons also recommended his workout videos as a means to stay in shape and suggested listening to the song 'Live Like You Were Dying' by Tim McGraw. However, he later clarified that his message was about embracing life rather than a literal statement about his health.
Having retreated from the public eye in 2014, Simmons faced rumors of being kidnapped by his housekeeper in 2017, which were debunked by a police investigation. In 2024, he spoke out against an unauthorized biopic about his life, expressing his disapproval of the project.
Simmons, who now leads a private life without a manager or publicist, thanked his supporters for their love and understanding. Despite the initial alarm caused by his Facebook post, he reassured everyone that he is not facing imminent death.
