Rick Springfield, 77, Draws Attention With Ageless Physique

Rick Springfield is turning heads at 77 after performing shirtless during a recent show at Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas.

The rock star, who celebrated his 77th birthday on Aug. 23, has performed without a shirt throughout the summer. A video of Springfield performing his 1981 hit “Jessie’s Girl” recently went viral, prompting fans to marvel at his physique and youthful appearance.

“If I look like that when I’m 77, I’m doing that too,” one person wrote on X, while another said Springfield looked “at least 20 years younger.”

Springfield has previously shared details about how he stays fit. In a February 2025 interview with PEOPLE, he said he exercises every day and considers performing with his band a two-hour aerobic workout. While touring, he regularly visits Planet Fitness locations.

His approach to food has also changed over the years. Springfield described his diet as largely pescatarian, saying he avoids dairy and has adopted an “anti-inflammation” approach. He also said he has significantly reduced his alcohol consumption, limiting himself mostly to occasional sips while performing.

Springfield has credited sleep, exercise and healthier habits with helping him maintain his fitness as he gets older. He has also praised other older stars for their dedication to staying active.

In September 2025, Springfield shared an encounter with actor Dick Van Dyke at a gym. Springfield said Van Dyke, then 99, was working out on multiple machines and even performed a dance step before leaving.

“I thought I was doing well at 76, but Dick got up from the chest press machine and did a little dance step,” Springfield wrote. “Amazing!”
