Everyone has been stunned on seeing sonny body at the age of 70. But according to sonny age is just a number.Who is sonny...? What was his journey of suffering before......?
Sonny's full name is Sam Bryant Jr., from Georgia Born in 1943, Sonny is one among seven children.Sonny's father worked in the chalk mines while his mother was a maid and school bus driver.
He completed his graduation in 1964, and then he got married his childhood love. After then Sonny joined army. But the marriage could not withstand the long periods and soon broke down.
He spend almost seven years in the forces, he was medically discharged for blistering feet and moved to Chicago where he worked as a restaurant manager, a factory worker and an office cleaner.
Upon his return to Augusta, he started working at Veterans Administration medical center as a nursing assistant. where he met his second wife whose father was a patient there. But in 1986, she dropped the bombshell that she wanted a divorce.
But he didn't give up on his hunt for nuptial bliss and married for a third time in the late 1990s. He says he never loved her like a wife, however, and they divorced in 2005. From then on, his relationship with his body grew.
How does he manage to stay so fit all time?: 'If you start thinking you're old subconsciously, your conscious mind is going to take hold of that and your body is going to start acting old, feeling old. Then you're old'.
