The man was captured in a video circulating on social media, laying blocks at an ongoing building project.
While having a conversation with Micky Osei Berko, a veteran Ghanaian TV personality, at the construction site, the man, who appeared fitter than his age, said he has a family of six, made up of himself, his wife, and four sons.
He explained that he took on the physically demanding task of a labourer at the construction site to make ends meet for his wife and children.
When asked how he managed to stay fit and healthy at the age of 64, the man replied that he did not drink, smoke, or engage in womanizing.
"I don't drink, smoke or womanise. I married at the age of 45 years and I have four boys with my wife," he said.
He, however, expressed regret over not fathering children early enough when he was a bit younger.
He further advised the youth to marry early and start raising families on their haydays.
