Leonardo DiCaprio Announces He Will Be First Human to Live 200 Years Using Controversial Gene Therapy
In a press conference that broke the internet late Tuesday, actor and environmental activist Leonardo DiCaprio declared his intention to become the first human to achieve a 200-year lifespan, citing a newly approved, top-secret gene therapy regimen developed in collaboration with a mysterious Swiss biotech firm. "I've dedicated my life to saving the planet, and I can't do that if I'm not here to see the results," the 50-year-old Oscar winner said, grinning as he revealed his new blood work shows a biological age of just 25. The move has sparked global outrage from ethicists, who warn it will create a permanent class of immortal billionaires, while fans have already memed him into a character from his own movie, The Great Gatsby—only now, he’s chasing an endless green light.
