Have heard Aubrey de Grey mention this yesterday in a podcast I believe. He said he's most excited about this for cancer.

Timestamped. He's talking about some new drug possibly effectively poisoning 90% of types of cancer cells...

I feel like when he has a major breakthrough he is going to shave, get a haircut and a tan. It will look like he reversed twenty years.

FWIK he's quite openly admitted to not following a particularly healthy diet, because he got genetically lucky.

Imo he might be underestimating the effects of diet. Look at how different David Sinclair and him look ( apparent age wise ). Only 6 years difference. And look at how much less different they looked 10 years ago. Sinclair is of course endorsing the dietary role much more.

Then again, apparent age isn't everything...
