RICHARD SIMMONS

Richard Simmons is known for his strange and striking looks, not to mention his energetic personality. These things helped the now 72-year-old star to blossom in his career as a fitness instructor. Richard made a significant investment and opened a gym of his own, especially for the overweight in Beverly Hills, California. He also had a line of aerobics videos titled Sweating to the Oldies.

Richard continuously spread awareness about the importance of health and exercise for decades. The actor, however, walked out of the spotlight and was rarely seen in public starting in 2014. These gave birth to rumors about his health, though Richard himself and his publicist shut down the issues and revealed he only wanted to be less visible in public. Richard is now semi-retired, though he’s now uploading archival content to his YouTube channel so that people will remain active even if they’re only staying at home.
