86-year-old actress, singer and theater consultant Ritva Oksanen tells Apu magazine in a recent interview that he is still waiting and wondering what old age feels like. Despite his old age, he still does not feel that he is living in old age.
Oksanen still says that age is felt in a decaying body. Everything is slower these days than it used to be. Despite this, the body remains in motion. Oksanen walks a lot and does an evening jog every evening.
– The doctor told me that I have nothing to worry about – he has patients younger than me who come in with a walker, Oksanen says in an interview with Apu magazine.
Oksanen still works as an actor on theater stages. In 2017, he was awarded the title of theater advisor.
The actor says that life has never been a party financially, and he is used to stretching the pennies. As Oksanen gets older, he is more and more specific about what kind of work he takes on.
– Recently, I have not joined any TV series or live broadcasts. And I have made one decision, I have not agreed to advertisements, not even because of lack of money, Oksanen tells Apu magazine.

– I try to walk at least 7,000 steps every day. I go to movies, theaters and concerts. I just was Bob Dylan’s live. He is 84 years old. I thought there was nothing wrong with me either. We are both over 80 years old and we just work like this, Oksanen told Iltalehte.
Oksanen said that he is also happy that he will become a great-grandmother for the first time next spring.
In November, the actress was seen The women of the silk factory in the play. Oksanen said he does not plan to stop working.
– Then when nothing stays in my head, then I stop, Oksanen said in the fall.
