Steven Tyler Proud About His Genes

By Staff

The Aerosmith rocker, Steven Tyler owes his youthfulness to his good genes. Despite his drug and alcohol addiction in the past, he seems to be in the pink of health. He says that he would not be a convincing advertisement for the dangers of drug addiction as his sound health will betray him.

"People always look at us and think, 'OK, they got away with it - why shouldn't I? The truth is it's all in the genes. He told Britain's Independent newspaper. "My Italian grandfather on my mother's side had a full head of hair in his old age, and my paternal grandfather was this wiry Portuguese sailor."
