Rupert Murdoch may be set to join the tiny ranks of nonagenarians running global empires when he celebrates his 90th birthday on Thursday, but according to associates who have met with the media mogul recently, he shows no sign of slowing down.
“Honestly, it’s the fittest I’ve seen him in years,” said one person who held a meeting with Murdoch, just prior to the latest lockdown, at Holmwood House, the Georgian property near Henley-on-Thames he acquired for £11.25m two years ago with his former model wife Jerry Hall, and where he has spent most of his time during the pandemic. “I expected him to be, well, more tired. Instead he takes lots of meetings, when Covid restrictions have allowed, he is wanting to be engaged, talk about things, to keep on top of business.”

Bristol Old Vic seeks a new Chair to succeed Dame Elizabeth Forgan.
Bristol Old Vic is the oldest continuously working theatre in the English-speaking world. The 254-year-old theatre is recognised nationally and internationally as one of the most exciting and inclusive places to experience world-class theatre.
Called “the loveliest theatre in the world” by Peter O’Toole and “the most beautiful theatre in England” by Sir Daniel Day Lewis, Bristol Old Vic is also the beating heart of the South West of England – a warm and welcoming public building for all of Bristol to enjoy, and a historic playhouse that aims to inspire audiences with its own original productions, both at home and on tour.
