Billionaire Sir Richard Branson even injures himself like a billionaire from a 'Batman' movie. The dashing Brit was sporting a blue sling over his black-tie outfit while hosting The Rock the Kasbah event benefiting Virgin Unite and the Eve Branson Foundation."I was pretending to be a teenager and I was on a quad bike going over the Pyrenees mountains and, well, I tipped it over," Branson tells PopEater. "Actually the injury was a couple of years ago and I just had an operation to fix it." After the jump, he talks about his new adventure: outer space.
The 59-year-old vows he will not stop with the teenage stunts. "I don't think that will be much fun."
In fact, next stop: space. On December 7, Virgin Galactic will unveil its spaceship "and hopefully in the next 12 months or so, we're going to take a trip into space. I'll be floating so no worry about bum limbs," he laughs.
As far as taking it easy, he shouldn't look to his mother, Eve Branson. "I don't want him to slow down until I slow down," she says. Her next mission, going to space alongside her son...at age 88. "I hope to be going into space on the mother ship."
And will she bungee jump in space? "I suppose if it's possible, I would."
