Hollywood star Ernie Hudson recently returned to the big screen with the fifth installment in the beloved franchise Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire. Despite the excitement surrounding the return of the original ghost-hunting ensemble, the 78-year-old actor, who reprised his role as Winston Zeddemore, has become the center of attraction for his remarkable physique.
Fans have been expressing admiration for Hudson, speculating about the secrets behind his seemingly age-defying appearance. The actor reflected on the same in his recent interview with People.
Ernie Hudson Reflects on His Age-Defying Physique
Ernie Hudson gained people’s attention when he posed on the red carpet donning jeans and a black t-shirt. And the actor soon went viral, with people sharing their reactions to how fit Hudson has kept himself despite being in his late 70s.
And the Ghostbusters actor is nothing but grateful for the attention. “It’s nice to be noticed,” he told People in a recent interview before adding, “It’s been a little bit of a surprise in the last couple of days.” However, he also argued that his appearance has remained consistent throughout his career, suggesting that it simply hadn’t been noticed until now.
“It’s just that no one noticed until now,” he said. He suggested that the reason his physique might have gone unnoticed could be due to his choice of attire, as he often wears “a suit or a sport coat” in public events, which does not highlight his physique as much as his ensemble did on the red carpet.
He argued the same for his on-screen presence as well, sharing that his roles have not been particularly affected by his physicality. “I’m usually the warden or the principal, or I’m usually the guy in the suit,” he said. Hudson also reflected on the secrets behind his magnificent physique even at the age of 78.

While many Hollywood stars invest significant effort in maintaining their fitness and appearance, Ernie Hudson suggests that his healthy and fit physique may have come naturally to him. The actor shared that although he has always tried to be healthy, he admits he hadn’t adhered to a regular workout routine until recently.
While he recognizes the dedication of those who commit to intense workout regimens and achieve impressive physical transformations, Hudson’s own approach has been more about balance and a practical approach to health.
“The most important thing for me is just to try to maintain your health, just common-sense stuff,” he further shared during the interview. While the actor does not mention it, Hudson’s remarks hint at the potential influence of genetics on his impressive physical presence.
However, he also acknowledged opting to work out after he noticed some changes in his body recently. He shared that he dedicates three days a week to the gym with the guidance of a fitness trainer. Alongside structured exercise, he and his wife make a point of walking 10,000 steps daily.
The Quantum Leap star also emphasizes the significance of mental health in maintaining overall wellness. “When I’m in a good space, I’m aware of just how I’m living my life, and the other things fall in place,” he shared his perspective with the outlet.
