“Becoming 60 for me is even a bigger deal, so when July comes and I become 60. You know how the Bible says old things have passed away.
” I will truly truly become a new man because that is when I’ll make a bucket list. So all these things that you think I’ve achieved or done, for me it’s nothing, like zero.”
“So I’m going to now sit down when I’m 60 and do a bucket list … and then we’ll start.” he added.
