Bryan Johnson's ambitious attempt to reverse aging through a costly and rigorous program is explored in a new Netflix documentary.

Johnson displays this disarming attitude in recent podcast interviews, as well as a new documentary, Don’t Die: The Man Who Wants To Live Forever, now streaming on Netflix. If sensational headlines such as “Millionaire spends US$2 million a year to live forever” suggest an eccentric vanity project, the film adds nuance and humanises the man, who comes across as earnest, curious and humble enough to admit when some experiments go wrong. Johnson’s programme, which he calls Blueprint, entails a rigorous diet, exercise and lifestyle regimen, as well as taking dozens of supplements and injections, including a novel gene therapy to boost muscle mass.
