Josh Duhamel reveals the 'therapy' he goes through so he can 'stay young' for his wife
Josh Duhamel has started testosterone replacement therapy so he can "stay young" for his wife.
The 52-year-old actor - who has been married to former Miss World Audra Mari, 31, since 2022 and has 17-month-old son Shepherd with her - decided that the best way to achieve an "overall wellness" in his life was to boost his natural hormones.
He told Men's Health Lab: "It's important for her that I stay as young and virile for as long as I can.
'I think that there is an overall wellness, you know, just for just for those purposes alone…
"Just having that energy, that that that desire to go out and achieve, be a better dad, be a better brother, be a better friend, be a better business owner, you don't taper off like you would normally—and I think that that's also one of the benefits of it, mentally and physically.
"I'd been hearing about this for a while—about testosterone replacement therapy—and it was one of those things that I didn't want to talk about, neither did anybody I was asking about it.
"And I think that it was just, I took an inventory, a personal inventory, of how I was feeling, and I knew that I wasn't quite where I was at five, 10, years before. That's when I got myself tested, and realized my levels were low, and that's when I decided to start doing it."
The Transformers star - who was previously married to Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie and has 11-year-old son Axl with her - has got his "mojo back" with his new tratement, and has found that it is all about "being around for [his] kids" and still being able to do things with them as he get older.
He said: "It's just one of those things that just changed my world. I literally got my mojo back. And now it's become, not so much about the aesthetics of it, as much as it is being around for my kids and being able to roll around the dirt with them like I could have when I was younger."

Miss World contestant pulls out of pageant over ‘uncomfortable' duties
A Miss World contestant has dramatically quit the pageant over claims organisers paraded her around like a 'performing monkey' and made her feel extremely 'uncomfortable'. Milla Magee, 24, made history as the first Miss England to quit the contest in its 74-year run, The Sun reported. The beauty queen has said that while visiting India to attend a publicity event for the annual contest, the Miss World contestants had to wear ball gowns all day, even during breakfast. But her final straw with the contest was when she was allegedly asked to entertain middle-aged businessmen at tables as a 'thank you' for the money they had put into the show, the New York Post reports. 'We were expected to sit with them for the whole evening and entertain them as a thank you,' she told the UK newspaper. 'I found that unbelievable. I remember thinking, 'This is so wrong.' I didn't come here to be farmed out for people's entertainment. 'Miss World is supposed to have the same values, but it's outdated and stuck in the past. They made me feel like a prostitute.' Magee said that at one point, she tried to talk about the causes she was supporting, but said 'it was obvious the men at the table were not interested'. 'Instead, there was weird small-talk that left me feeling uncomfortable… We were there to please these people and sit like performing monkeys. I couldn't stand it,' she fumed. Magee even said organisers berated contestants for being 'boring' and claimed one clapped her hands in her face. 'She clapped her hands right in my face to get my attention and as a signal for people to listen to her… It was so disrespectful, like she was addressing children rather than a coach full of adult women,' she told the outlet. On May 16, Magee quit the contest and flew home to Cornwall — allowing runner-up Charlotte Grant, 25, the current Miss Liverpool, to take her place. It is believed to be the first time since the contest began in 1951 that Miss England contestant has quit. The 24-year-old previously advocated to scrap Miss World's swimwear round and allow contestants to be judged on life-saving skills like chest compressions and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Magee is a trained lifeguard and strong advocate for CPR education after a personal tragedy left her family helpless during an emergency. Angie Beasley, director of Miss England, announced Magee's departure for 'personal reasons.' 'We regret to announce that Milla Magee has returned home to the UK due to personal reasons,' Beaseley said, according to the outlet. 'We stand fully by her decision — health must always come first.'

Shia LaBeouf to star in crime thriller God of the Rodeo
Shia LaBeouf is set to star in the crime thriller 'God of the Rodeo'. The 'Transformers' star, 38, has signed on to lead director Rosalind Ross' upcoming movie, which will be based on the reports of Daniel Bergner from inside the deadliest prison in the American South. Set in the harsh confines of Louisiana's Angola Prison in 1967, 'God of the Rodeo' follows Buckkey, a hardened inmate who discovers a faint hope of redemption through an unexpected chance - the prison's first inmate rodeo. As Buckkey and his fellow prisoners train for what may be their final shot at dignity, they come to realise the rodeo is no heroic contest, but a brutal spectacle. Designed to entertain the public and feed the warden's messianic ambitions, it becomes a punishing battle for survival masked as sport. As well as directing 'God of the Rodeo', Ross is set to write the movie's script. Meanwhile, Sir Ridley Scott and Michael Pruss are to produce 'God of the Rodeo' through Scott Free Films, alongside Giannina Scott under her Cara Films banner. LaBeouf could recently be seen in Francis Ford Coppola's 'Megalopolis', in which he starred opposite the likes of Adam Driver and Jon Voight. The filmmaker previously explained he chose to cast "cancelled" actors like LaBeouf - who has faced allegations of sexual battery, assault and infliction of emotional distress from former girlfriend FKA Twigs - in order to avoid 'Megalopolis' being written off as a "woke" movie that was "lecturing viewers". In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, he said: "What I didn't want to happen is that we're deemed some woke Hollywood production that's simply lecturing viewers. "There were people who are archconservatives and others who are extremely politically progressive. But we were all working on one film together. That was interesting, I thought." 'The Godfather' director praised LaBeouf for his work on 'Megalopolis', though revealed the actor had "deliberately" tried to create tension between the two creatives. He explained: "Shia really took to it. I had no experience working with him prior to this, but he deliberately sets up a tension between himself and the director to an extreme degree. "He reminds me of Dennis Hopper, who would do something similar, and then you'd say, 'Just go do anything,' and then they go off and do something brilliant." 'Megalopolis' - which also stars Aubrey Plaza, Nathalie Emmanuel and Giancarlo Esposito - takes place in a decaying future New York City, where a visionary architect battles political corruption and personal betrayal as he attempts to rebuild the city into a utopia called Megalopolis. Coppola also said he hoped audiences would resonate with the "vision of hope" woven throughout the movie, which polarised critics and ended up disappointing at the box office. Speaking at the Toronto International Film Festival, the filmmaker said: "It's a Roman epic, what can I say? It's a dive into a world that exists more than it should. Of course, it's about loyalty, but ultimately in the end it's a vision of hope. "There's always the vision of human beings that are great and are capable of dealing with any challenge they have to make a beautiful world for ourselves and for our children. It's a hopeful film."
