CELZ... He may be one of the most famous comedians of all time, but John Cleese has revealed that stem cell therapy is no joke. Read on to find out more about celebrity stem cell therapies.
The 79-year-old icon told BBC Radio 2 that he’s been using stem cell therapy for a number of years, with a view to staying young and treating the aches and pains that come with old age.
“I think stem cell therapy is the most extraordinary thing,” Cleese said last week. “I’ve been doing that for some years and the astonishing thing is that you don’t hear much about it.”
This is just the latest of several celebrity stem cell therapies. Actor Charlie Sheen received a stem cell injection to heal a shoulder injury, while Cristiano Ronaldo, Rafael Nadal and David Beckham have received similar procedures.
“If they [stem cells] are introduced into your body, the body doesn’t recognise them as foreign objects so it doesn’t reject them,” explains Cleese. “They go around your body saying, ‘Do you need our services today?’ The knee says ‘I need you over here’, and they go over and turn into knee cells and help to repair the damage.”
Although it is unknown what therapy Cleese has been receiving, he’s clearly thrilled with the results. “I look younger than my age and it’s entirely down to stem cell therapy,” he continues. “And not because I’m a wonderful person, which I am, but that doesn’t affect my looks.”
