“The way to do that is to keep getting up in the morning, keep working out in the gym, keep taking your vitamins, keep taking your prescribed meds, and keep moving,” he continued. “Keep moving. That is the secret to it all.”

After starring in the first two Now You See Me movies, Morgan is reprising his role as magician Thaddeus Bradley in the upcoming third installment, which is out in theaters now.

In the new interview, Morgan said that he was excited to return for the movie.

“You’re more comfortable learning your lines, you’re more comfortably ensconced in the role, you’re more comfortable interacting with the same actors that you were interacting with before,” Morgan explained. “You know what to expect. It makes it easy.”

When he’s not on a film set, Morgan said that he spends a lot of time playing golf.

“I’m pretty good at it, I must say. I mean, for a hack,” Morgan joked, adding that he loves a sport that requires a lot of “movement.”

“It’s walking, stooping, bending, swinging, cussing,” he added. “It’s a great sport for older adults. It’s better than bocce ball.”
