The singer told the Daily Mail that he will never resort to plastic surgery to maintain his looks as he feels it always goes wrong if you try to reverse the procedures. ‘[Plastic surgery] locks you in for that year [while you recover] – and after that, you can’t go naturally, you’re staying right there… You try and go back to reset, and you can’t,’ he said, adding: ‘[And] that s*** goes wrong!’ Richie explained.
Richie also stated he has a more natural approach to anti-aging by using traditional methods such as sleep, drinking a lot of water, and having sex: ‘Water, sleep, and sweat, not too much red meat, I know it’s real boring. sex will work also, and it’s good for your heart.’
