Idris Elba has shared what he has learned that comes with aging.

During a recent appearance on Amy Poehler’s “Good Hang” podcast, the 52-year-old actor opened up about getting older and reaching his 50s.

“I don’t love that, at this age, the age of wellness and consciousness, it is so upon us, yet our bodies fail us,” he said.

Poehler added that, in your 50s, a person can get hurt simply by getting out of bed.

Poehler, who is 53 herself, agreed, and the two discussed how even simple tasks like walking can become dicey after a certain age.

“I mean, the fact that you can get hurt just getting out of bed,” Poehler said.

She pointed out that Elba still has to “use his body a lot” for his work, and asked how he manages to stay “flexible” at his age.

They exchanged mobility tips, some of which Elba admitted to ignoring.

However, Elba revealed that he practices the squatting method, which Poehler found impressive.

He has not really aged that much at 52. He is one of my favorite actors of all time and he shouldn't consider to leave acting because of age.

Yes that's right, our bodies are no longer the same the more we age, but things like little workouts, the right diet and so on can help us greatly.

Not only are our bodies no longer the same. Our minds begin to reflect on what life truly means as one ages.

I really like Idris Elba. I think he looks much younger than fifty-two. Hehe. His physical activity can improve general health and well-being, so I'm happy to see him doing it.
