Like Johnson, Scott is invested in reversing his age. Scott argues that it’s not enough to slow the aging process: He wants to be immortal and is part of an anti-aging movement that has spawned a litany of conferences and experimental treatments. Its adherents often travel internationally, accessing medical treatments that are not approved by the FDA or administered by doctors in the United States.

The octogenarian asserts that he can dance like he did at 18, has youthful skin, and when tested, his biological age reads as 18 years old. Scott estimates that he and his wife spend $70,000 annually on personal treatments to try to reverse aging, on top of the estimated $500,000 to $750,000 he has invested in biotechnology companies that study anti-aging technology.
