PAUL McCARTNEY: "I GO TO THE GYM, DO A BIT OF PILATES. IT’s GOOD”


“When I wrote When I’m 64, I was thinking, ‘64? Oh, my God, that’s so old.’ And then I go, oh, I’m 64. Oh, now I’m 74 and now I’m going to be 84.”

Paul prioritizes his well-being by maintaining a vegetarian lifestyle and practicing Pilates, which he believes are the keys to his physical fitness

He said: “These days, I do a bit of exercise. You know, whereas at school, I hated physical education. Now I go to the gym, do a bit of Pilates. It’s good.”

With his latest release, The Boys of Dungeon Lane, the musician has achieved his 24th UK number one album; he expressed great delight regarding the enthusiastic response from his fanbase.

He said: “Yeah, we are well chuffed.

“If you do something, you want people to like it, and if people like it enough to send it to number one, you know they like it.”

Paul recently described himself as a 'playaholic,' noting that he doesn't view his music career as actual work.

Speaking to Zane Lowe in an interview for Apple Music, he said: “People say, ‘Oh you’re a workaholic’ and I say, ‘We don’t work music, we play it, so I’m a playaholic!

“I hate it when making music starts to feel like work.”

Zane then remarked that music producer Brian Eno had made an “almost identical” comment in a recent interview with him.

Paul said: “I saw your thing about Brian Eno and he says this, he says this thing about ‘playtime’ and I go ‘that’s… he’s nicked it, he’s heard me say it!’

“Because I’m always saying that! He’s taking all my lines, this guy!”
