Sir David Attenborough, 98, makes heartbreaking admission in haunting scene of new Disney+ show
DESPITE being an old man for as long as most of us can remember, Sir David Attenborough hasn't spent much time dwelling on his mortality - until now. The national treasure turns 99 next week, and as he prepares to celebrate the milestone birthday, he's finally stated that he is: 'nearing the end of his life.' 1 Sir David, whose career spans eight decades, makes the admission in his new show, Ocean, in which he looks at how important aquatic life is to our planet. The feature length film sees him on a shoreline looking out to sea in what is widely expected to be his last location shoot for a TV show. A TV insider said: 'They're two major moments but despite being associated with the BBC for most of his working life, they both feature in the documentary which is set to drop on Disney+.' In the documentary, which airs on the streaming giant later this year, he is seen saying: 'When I first saw the sea as a young boy, it was thought of as a vast wilderness to be tamed and mastered for the benefit of humanity. 'Now, as I approach the end of my life, we know the opposite is true. 'After living for nearly a hundred years on this planet, I now understand that the most important place on Earth is not on land, but at sea.' The film shows Attenborough looking back at footage from 1957 of his first attempt at scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef. Although he says we are 'almost out of time', Attenborough remains optimistic. He tells how creating protected marine reserves where fishing is banned allows the ocean's eco-system to recover. Sir David is expected to make a rare public appearance at a London premiere of the film next week.
