John Legend is learning to swim at 40

Musician John Legend said he is having swimming lessons as he has never been able to swim properly. The Ordinary people hitmaker surprised his 12.4 million Twitter followers when he said he was off for a swimming lesson, as he claimed he “can’t really swim”, reports a website. He wrote: “I can’t really swim. Today I took my first swim lesson since I was like five. My dad learned in his 60’s so I feel like I’m ahead of schedule.” A fan then joked that he was lying on his song “All of me” because of the line: “My head’s under water/But I’m breathing fine.” They quipped: “So what happened when your head was under water? Did you breathe fine? Was it all a lie?!” Legend, who has eight-month-old son Miles and two-year-old daughter Luna with his wife Chrissy Teigen, re-tweeted the post, and wrote: “All. Lies. Hahaha.” (IANS)
