64 Years Old Grandma Looks Like 20 – Shares Her Secret To Long And Happy Life
Lesley Maxwell is a 64-year-old granny from Melbourne, Australia, but looks much younger than she is. “I’m mistaken for my own granddaughter’s sister” says Lesley.
She divorced her husband 15 years ago and even since, Maxwell dedicated herself to the fitness journey, becoming a famous influencer with thousands of followers on all social networks. Her looks betrays her dedication, and it’s not an easy road, considering she is 64 years old. Below you can see Lesley next to her 20 year-old-granddaughter Tia, and it’s easy to make a mistake that Lesley is her older sister.
“She looks way younger than her actual age”
According to Tia, her stunning granny gets quite a lot of attention from the male population, both online and in in-person. “Because she looks amazing for her age, she does get a bit of attention,” she said.
Lesley added: “The guys are from about 18, which is really funny. Sometimes they’re really naughty – I think they call them d**k pics. I take everything as a compliment, it’s really great that they even follow me. Of course, I appreciate the male followers and men definitely add spice to life… I don’t think this changes whatever age we are.” [1]
She admires brave men, and her current boyfriend is younger than her. Lesley said “The man I’m seeing is younger than me but I never think about that. Confidence is a win for me. If a man is brave enough to walk straight up to me and stare me in the eyes and ask me out, he’s a pretty brave man. These days men are quite shy about approaching women as everything seems to be done online. Anyone can be romantic online but there’s nothing like the real thing.”
Despite the 45-year age gap, her granddaughter Tia says that there’s almost no sense that they are so many years apart. “My grandma is so close to me, it feels like she’s my age half the time,” she said.
Her granddaughter is supporting every step of the fitness journey her grandma Lesley shares with the world, but her 42-year-old daughter Vanessa is less supportive when it comes to her “spicy” posts on social media. “There’s times when I’ll go on my Instagram and I’ll see what she’s posted and I’ll call and I’ll go, ‘mum, delete it. Get it off’!”
“There are two ways of aging”
There’s quite bit of confusion when the whole family is at the gym together: “If I’m with my mum they think that we’re sisters and if I’m with Tia they think we’re sisters,” Vanessa said. “And for you two [points at Tia and Lesley] they get mother and daughter for you two.” [2]
Maxwell dedicated her life to share the secret to her stunning look at the age of 64. She is selling clean eating guides and workout programs. Her wish is to inspire older women to feel good, look good, and live good in their life. “I definitely think women come into their own as we become older – more confident and sexy, especially if we are fit and healthy,” she said. “We can actually reverse the aging process through clean eating plus effective exercise. Build the muscle and burn the fat and having a healthy lean body is up to us. There are two ways of aging – one is chronological age which is from your birthdate until now. And the other is biological age, which is more exciting! We can create a younger body – become leaner, stronger, healthier. This makes us more confident and sexy.”
