People often whisper about cosmetic work. But I think his secret is simpler. It’s the tan. He lives in Spain part-time, and that golden glow does heavy lifting. A good tan makes you look like you’ve been dipped in youth serum.
Plus, he’s a doctor. He literally knows how to avoid wrinkles. He probably drinks 84 glasses of water a day and sleeps on a pillow filled with unicorn tears. It’s unfair, but it’s science.
But Wait—He Was Young Once?
Let’s rewind. Back in the 1980s, Hilary was a fresh-faced GP. He burst onto TV screens as the resident doctor on TV-am. Imagine a world without mobile phones, but with a young, floppy-haired Hilary giving medical advice. It existed.
He was born just after the Queen’s coronation. He was a teenager during the Beatlemania era. That means when he was 20, he was studying medicine while the Bay City Rollers were on the radio. Mind-blowing.
