Gordon Ramsay turns 60 and shares a shirtless photo that stunned fans

Gordon Ramsay has turned 60, and he is celebrating in his own way: with abs.

The celebrity chef, born in Johnstone, Scotland, on 8 November 1966, skipped the big birthday cake. Instead he posted a black-and-white photo on Instagram, taken in a bathroom. It shows him shirtless, with clearly defined stomach muscles, broad shoulders and sculpted arms.

He thanked everyone for the incredible birthday messages and called it day two of being 60.

Within hours the post had hundreds of thousands of likes. One commenter wrote that Ramsay had just made everyone feel out of shape, adding that he is only 30 and Ramsay has the better physique. Another said 60 is the new 40.

It wasn't always like this. Ramsay has said in interviews that stress and constant snacking at work once left him seriously overweight. At his heaviest, he weighed well over 110 kilograms.
