John Legend may be an EGOT winner, but there are a few skills he hasn’t mastered. The father of two recently revealed that he doesn’t know how to swim. And at the age of 40, he’s decided to change that. John recently took to Twitter to reveal that he was taking swimming lessons.
The internet couldn’t be prouder of John. Twitter followers had a few questions about why John never learned before, but ultimately showered him in support.
John’s wife, Chrissy Teigen, is doing her part to keep him accountable. A few days after John let fans in on the state of his swimming, Chrissy posted a video of him during a swimming lesson, expressing pride in her husband for learning.
Swimming is an important skill to have, more so than many people realize. The Red Cross reports that, on average, 10 people die in the United States from accidental drowning every day. While it’ll be nice for John to be able to do laps around his pool, it’s also a crucial skill for keeping himself and his children safe.
