It looks like Richard Simmons is going to be sweatin’ to the oldies for eternity.
On Saturday, Lenny Simmons, brother of the late fitness guru, told people attending Simmons’ celebration-of-life ceremony a “little secret” about how the star was laid to rest wearing his famous exercise ensemble under a more formal outfit.
“Just like Clark Kent, underneath his beautiful things that he was wearing, his clothing, he is wearing a tank top and shorts,” Lenny Simmons told the crowd at New Orleans’ St. Louis Cathedral, according to video of the star’s remembrance shared by TMZ.
Richard Simmons was buried in July at Los Angeles’ Pierce Brothers Westwood Village Memorial Park and Mortuary, in a private funeral for family and close friends.
During the celebration of life, Lenny Simmons told those in attendance that the burial outfit was a tribute to everything the exercise expert brought to the world.
