John Abraham made his acting debut with the film, Jism in 2003. Following this, he worked in a number of films, including Dostana, Shootout at Wadala, Dhoom, Satyamev Jayte and more. Last, he was seen as an antagonist in Shah Rukh Khan's film, Pathaan. And if reports are to be believed, he will be next seen in the films, Force 3, Vedaa and Tehran. However, apart from his acting mettle, it is his chiselled figure, even at the age of 51, that never misses a chance to make many female fans go weak in their knees.
In an interview with Dawn News, Alyy Khan was asked to give his opinion on his Luck By Chance co-star, John Abraham's acting skills. He was specifically asked whether John has some talent or just the charming physique that helps him get roles. To this, the British-Pakistani actor mentioned, “If you don’t have the talent, you cannot survive for so many years.” Following this, it was Alyy's wife, Chandni Saigol who made a shocking comment about John's physique. Complementing the Indian actor's immense dedication towards fitness, Chandni mentioned how John has not touched sugar for more than two decades. She said:

“The reason he can take off his shirt at this age is because he hasn’t tasted sugar in 25 years.”

Soon after Chandni commented on John's hard work and resistance towards the unhealthy habits of life, her husband, Alyy, started talking about his co-star's 'monk-like lifestyle'. Alyy mentioned that he was left wondering upon discovering John's strict rules in his lifestyle to stay fit. The British-Pakistani actor then talked about the actor's good habits and revealed that post knowing about them, Alyy had asked John about his poison. In Alyy's words:
“I asked him, ‘What’s your poison then?’ And he said he only has sugar-free alternatives. I asked, ‘Alcohol’, and he said, ‘Never tasted it’. I asked, ‘Cigarettes?’ And he said he’s never smoked. But you must have some vice… Is this body a result of only protein and meat?”
Earlier, during a candid conversation with Shilpa Shetty on her show a couple of years ago, John had opened up about his strict fitness regime. He shared that waking up at 4:30 am every morning, not tasting his favourite sweets like kaju kalti for more than 27 years and not even touching any intoxicating or aerated drinks ever, has helped him maintain his fitness. Moreover, it is noteworthy that he is a vegetarian, which helps him retain all his strict rules. He shared:
“You can eat healthy if you think like that. You have to be goal-oriented. Diet, and eating right are the most important. I believe and always say that fitness is like a tripod stand. Good food, good exercise, and good sleep. Without any of them, the tripod falls. It has been 27 years. It has been a long time. I do not have aerated drinks. I believe, and I guess, you do the same… that sugar is the biggest poison in the world. More than cigarette smoking.”

However, the wrinkles on his face shocked the netizens. The video instantly went viral then, and netizens were left shocked to see him. As a report by News18, several netizens expressed their opinion on Reddit. A few of his concerned fans commented about his wrinkles, claiming that the wrinkles were maybe side effects of heavy workouts and medications (if he takes any). But it is noteworthy, that he wasn't wearing any makeup at that time and thus, his face looked quite natural for a man his age."
