Simmons, who just turned 76 on Friday, stepped away from the spotlight 10 years ago. However, he took part in a rare interview with People recently, saying he would blow out a candle to celebrate his birthday.

“But the candle will probably be on a zucchini,” Simmons said. “You know, I’m a vegetarian.” 

When asked how he felt about turning 76, he said, “I am grateful that I’m here, that I am alive for another day. I’ll spend my birthday doing what I do every day, which is to help people.”
