Sir Rod Stewart wants to break a sprinting world record.
The 80-year-old singer recently began running 100m on a private track within the grounds of his home in a bid to stay fit, and while he's happy with his current speed, he's keen to shave off a few more seconds.
He told AARP - The Magazine: "I got it down to 19 seconds by learning how to push off.
“I’m going to try and do 17 seconds, which I think is a world record for an 80 year old.”
Despite his advancing years, Rod insisted he is still "very fit" and has found underwater swimming particularly helpful in looking after both his physical health and his voice.
He said: "I keep myself very fit. I played soccer all my life - don’t so much anymore, because I had a knee replacement. And I’ve always had a trainer - same guy for 38 years.
"I have an indoor pool, massive gym, golf course, everything. We do a lot of underwater training, where the trainer throws a brick into the pool and I have to dive in, push the brick to the end of the pool, and come up.
"Frank Sinatra once said to me, 'Rod, the secret to being a great singer is having powerful lungs. Do lots of underwater swimming, where you hold your breath.' "
The 'Maggie May' hitmaker hates it when reviews of his shows imply he doesn't have the stamina to make it through a full concert because he needs a "rest".
He fumed: "Critics say, 'Rod was great, but he had to take a rest.' Drives me mad!
"When I do concerts, I change costumes, mainly because I like to show off, but also because I sweat a lot. I’m not resting. Taylor Swift goes offstage about a dozen times, but they don’t say that about her because she’s young."
To mark his 80th birthday in January, Rod and his whole family enjoyed a celebration on a yacht - and his wife Penny Lancaster secretly arranged for everyone on board to dress up as him.
Asked how he had celebrated hitting the milestone, he said: "We hired a massive yacht. Cost me an absolute fortune. I don’t mind - you’re only 80 once.
"I’ve got eight kids and five grandchildren, plus various boyfriends and husbands, so there were 15 of us.
"We had three chefs. The boat was so big that I didn’t even see some of it. We dressed up every night, with a different theme.
"One night, they all dressed up as Rod Stewart and didn’t tell me. My dear wife brought wigs for everybody and some of my old outfits. It was a wonderful time."
