Vladimir Putin[1], just re-elected in a landslide to his fourth term as Russian president, is set to stay in power for life — and he could live a long time, Kremlin watchers say.
The 65-year-old works out two hours a day, rarely drinks alcohol, and copies his idol Julius Caesar with a breakfast of porridge and hard-boiled quail eggs.
“The shirtless photos of him hunting and on horseback are pure propaganda,” one Russian told me. “But he is a health nut.”
Putin also won’t get poisoned, as so many of his countrymen do, because when the former KGB spy travels, he has food testers check every dish.
