The Peter Pan gene
Scientific studies suggest there is a 'Peter Pan' gene linked to looking younger than your years... but would you rather look like Cliff or Mick?
According to a study millions of Britons are blessed with a gene that makes them look up to eight years younger than their years, which could explain why Cliff Richard looks a lot younger than Mick Jagger, despite being older.
The study, by the journal Nature Genetics, found that while 7 per cent of the population has two copies of a stretch of DNA that makes you look older, lucky people with the 'Peter Pan' gene do not have this stretch of DNA at all. Instead, they have the 'Peter Pan' gene.
Lifestyle
Here at Real Radio we suspect that lifestyle also plays a part as fresh-faced Cliff is very clean living. So we want to know, would you rather live a rocker lifestyle and look like Mick... or be clean living and look like Cliff? Vote in the poll to let us know.
