Lenny Kravitz’s fitness, diet and skincare secrets at 59: his new ‘TK421’ music video shows the star totally naked, revealing the results of a plant-based diet, Bahamian beach sand exfoliation and more

Lenny Kravitz’s NSFW music video for his latest single “TK421” has caught the attention of the world as the musician comes close to baring it all.

In the opening scene of the video, the 59-year-old artist unabashedly rolls out of bed fully naked. He then goes about his morning routine as the melody commences, accompanied by the four-time Grammy winner’s vocals.

Kravitz is seen dancing around the room without inhibition, brushing his teeth and gyrating on his bed – with one shower scene coming dangerously close to exposing his naked body.

 

When Kravitz does get dressed, he opts for a pair of brown leather trousers – no doubt reminding fans of the time a similar pair split wide open as he squatted at the front of the stage during a gig in 2015.

“TK421” is the first single from Kravitz’s upcoming album, Blue Electric Light. Scheduled for release in March next year, it marks his return to the studio after a five-year hiatus and is also his first-ever double album.

Shock factor aside, there’s no denying how impressive the singer’s finely sculpted, tattooed physique is, especially given his age.

Here are the 59-year-old’s secrets to remaining fit and youthful.

In a 2020 interview with Men’s Health, Kravitz said, “My best shape is not behind me, it’s in front of me right now. We keep moving that bar as we get older.”

Kravitz claims that he owes his impeccably chiselled physique – complete with washboard abs – to his active outdoor lifestyle on the island of Eleuthera in the Bahamas. A typical day will see him cycling around the island, paddle boarding and walking, according to GQ Australia.

He has also been working with personal trainer Dodd Romero since the late 1990s, with their workout regimen incorporating plenty of cardio and weight training sessions five to six days a week.

Raw diets and cutting out sugar

Kravitz said in previous interviews that he is very conscious about what he puts in his body.

Following a strictly plant-based diet, Kravitz takes it a step further by opting for a predominantly raw diet when possible. According to GQ, he has experimented with long periods of eating exclusively raw food, and completely cutting out fruit sugars by only eating vegetables. He reportedly still indulges in the odd carb-laden cheat meal though – usually bread, pasta, pancakes or waffles.

To maximise and guarantee the nutritional value of his meals, he also farms and harvests fruits and veggies himself on his properties in Brazil and the Bahamas.

Organic skin care

In 2020, Kravitz revealed that a regular ingredient in his full-body skincare routine is sand from the Bahamas. “It’s very, very, very powdery, very, very fine,” he told Vogue. “So when I’m in the ocean, and I want to scrub my body, I use the sand.”

Other than his enviable method of exfoliation, the face of YSL Beauty told the magazine that he prioritises consistency and all-organic ingredients such as coconut oil, shea butter and cocoa butter.
The 59-year-old’s all time favourite skincare product, according to the Vogue interview, is Dr. Bronner’s Almond Pure-Castile Liquid Soap. “I wash my body in it. I wash my hair with it. I washed my clothes in it,” the rock star admitted.
