Lenny Kravitz is in the best shape of his life. But has anyone checked on his pair of size 28 leather pants? I’m worried about them.
Kravitz famously refuses to wear anything but his tight pants, even for his workouts (he attended the RFK Jr. School of Working out in Normal Clothes). In a recent interview with Men’s Health Magazine, Kravitz lets readers in on his strict fitness routine, and in the process, he may have sounded a just a tad bit obsessive about the aforementioned size 28 leather pants. The interview is mostly about how ripped he is at 62, which is understandable, since he is. But he doesn’t have any fancy Apple Watches or Aura Rings to thank. Just his size 28 leather pants.
“I can gauge everything by how I’m in my pants,” Kravitz explained. “Like, if my pants are a little tight, I know I’m getting outta’ shape. My friend Denzel Washington gave me this phrase, ‘The pants don’t lie, the pants don’t lie.’”
Just imagine being the poor guy next to him at the gym as he whispers, “the pants don’t lie,” to himself between every rep.
“I perform onstage in leather, denim, whatever, so those are the pants I wear to train,” he added. “It also means I can fit in a workout anytime, anywhere.”
This raises several logistical questions: Does he launder the leather pants after every workout? Is there just one pair? Or does he have a full closet of identical pairs of leather pants? Does it bother his pubic piercing? He must get extremely sweaty—or has his body chemically adjusted to the leather after decades of continuous use, to the point where he no longer perspires? Something tells me the reason he hasn’t taken off the leather pants is that doing so would break an ancient spell, returning him to the body of a normal mortal man.
Pants obsession aside, his workout routine is legitimately insane for a 62-year-old man. He does “around 336 reps” of core exercises every day to maintain his 8-pack, and never consumes a calorie before 3 pm. Also, he’s completely “natty:” “All this is natural: no peptides, no human growth hormone, no testosterone,” he told the outlet.
Maybe he really is immortal.
