Beatles legend Sir Paul McCartney has revealed he is hooked on a bizarre new exercise regime... eye yoga.
The ageing rocker picked up his latest hobby on a trip to India and has been sloping off half a dozen times a day to give his eyes a good workout.
Having started the yoga sessions during his stressful divorce with Heather Mills, Macca rekcons the whacky workout has helped him retain his 20/20 vision.
Macca said: "When I was in India there was a guy at one of the hotels who offered to teach me eye yoga exercises.
"He told me eyes are muscles just like any other and they need exercise to keep them working properly.
"Spending so much time at computers or the TV or reading books we are only using one set of muscles in our eyes.
"The yoga gives a workout to the other ones.
"It is really good for your eyes and keeps them in shape."
Having used eye yoga for over a year Sir Paul has developed his own workout methods which he has given names such as The Union Jack and Tree Hand.
A source close to the star said: "Paul's been doing eye yoga for the last couple of years and he loves it.
"He's a very busy man so he doesn't have much time to himself.
"The yoga helps him relax and relieve stress.
"He's telling all his mates how good it is and trying to get them on board.
"He looks a bit daft when he is doing it but no one would ever tell him."
