Khloé Kardashian wants to be 'frozen' to stay young: Is cryogenic preservation actually possible?

Khloé Kardashian is not exactly afraid of getting older. She just does not want to look like it. The reality star surprised her fans after casually admitting she would be more than happy to have her body frozen one day, all in the name of staying youthful.

The revelation came during a recent Ask Me Anything episode of her podcast, 'Khloé In Wonder Land,' where she bounced from paranormal stories to family gossip before landing on one of her most eyebrow-raising confessions yet.

“As soon as I can be frozen and preserved, sign me up,” Khloé said, speaking candidly about her feelings on aging. She went even further, adding that she would gladly live to be 104 as long as her appearance met her standards. “I don't mind my number. I do not care about aging when it comes the digits,” she explained. “I want to look a certain way, and I have no problem saying that.”

She has long positioned herself as the most transparent Kardashian when it comes to beauty, body image, and the pressure to stay camera-ready. In the same podcast episode, Khloé described herself as “very vain,” a phrase she delivered without apology.

The star has never shied away from discussing the work she has had done, especially after months of speculation about her appearance. In June, she directly addressed claims from aesthetic doctor and online personality Jonny Betteridge, who suggested she had undergone multiple major procedures.

“I take this as a great compliment,” Khloé wrote at the time, before laying out a detailed list of her cosmetic history. That included a nose job performed by Dr. Raj Kanodia, Botox, sculptra treatments where a tumor was removed from her cheek, soft wave laser for skin tightening, chin collagen threads, and a firm goodbye to fillers. She even confirmed trying the viral facial involving salmon sperm, alongside crediting a slow and steady 80-pound weight loss.

While her words were clearly tongue-in-cheek to some listeners, they touched on a very real concept. Cryonics, the practice of preserving a body at extremely low temperatures after legal death, has existed for decades.

“As soon as I can be frozen and preserved, sign me up,” Khloé said, speaking candidly about her feelings on aging.

The idea is rooted in the belief that future medical advancements could one day revive preserved individuals or restore them to health. The most famous example is James Bedford, a psychology professor who became the first human to be cryogenically frozen in 1967 after dying of cancer. 

His body remains stored in a cryonics facility in Arizona, more than half a century later. Scientists remain deeply skeptical, with many arguing that current technology cannot prevent irreversible cellular damage. Others believe cryonics is less about guaranteed revival and more about hope.

Khloé’s fascination with preservation also feels personal when viewed through the lens of her family. Her mother Kris Jenner, now 70, continues to defy expectations of aging, while her grandmother MJ, 91, is often celebrated as a vibrant near centenarian. Longevity, appearance, and reinvention have always been central to the Kardashian narrative. 

Whether cryonics ever becomes a viable path to immortality remains unknown. For now, Khloé Kardashian’s declaration stands as another reminder of how openly she navigates vanity, vulnerability, and the relentless expectation to stay forever young.
