Adam has been in the entertainment industry for 50 years and he previously shared his secret to staying youthful. His secret is similar to another ageless septuagenarian, bridal designer Vera Wang. He shared that his good complexion is not gained by drinking from the fountain of youth but having a sip of red wine before going to bed every night. “Just one spoonful is enough. Boiling the red wine gets rid of the alcohol, so it is healthier on the heart and stomach,” he shares.
