Ice-T just proved he is still the O.G. Original Gangsta at 64 years old, posting a shirtless selfie to social media which shows he is staying in great shape. “I just walked by my mirror and said ‘Hold up, not bad for 64…’ if I say so myself!” He wrote on Twitter.
The actor and rapper (real name Tracy Lauren Marrow) opened up about his exercise regimen in a recent interview with GQ, revealing that he does the same short workout every day at around 6 a.m. before heading to the set of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, where he has played Sgt. Fin Tutuola for more than 20 years.
“I have an elastic resistance band,” he says. “So I’ll stand on that, even sometimes in my closet, and I’ll do 100 biceps curls. Then, I go downstairs. I might take a sip of an energy drink because I need a little boost and I don’t drink coffee. Then I’ll go to my small gym and I’ll do 10 pullups, 25 dips, and 25 to 50 bench presses every single morning. That whole workout right there takes less than 10 or 15 minutes. I have always felt that anything is better than nothing.”
Ice-T added that while he does not follow a particularly restrictive diet—tacos and pasta remain favorites—he does practice intermittent fasting as part of his wider health and fitness routine.
“I’m one of the older hip-hop cats. I just turned 64. People are like, ‘wow, you don’t look 64’ all the time, and I tell them that’s because I take care of myself,” he said. “I’ve seen some of my friends pass away in their forties from just neglect… It’s a wake-up call now, as men – especially black men – we don’t go to the doctor until something’s wrong. I want guys to know it’s OK to look out for your health, care about your family, and care about your loved ones.”
“At this point in my life, you know, I’m trying to push positive things,” the SVU star continued. “Us gangster rappers – me, Snoop, everybody – we’ve always been the bad guys. It was time for us to be the good guys right now. So I want to be the best version of myself.”
