Lee Majors has turned 85-years-old.

And the actor proved with a new photo shared to Instagram that he still looks fantastic.

'This is 85! Or as I like to say “58”. Thank you for all the birthday wishes! Feeling very blessed and grateful❤️,' the icon wrote in his caption.

The star has been in the news lately because Ryan Gosling is in a film version of his classic TV show The Fall Guy.

Majors has a longer resume, however, that includes many more successes like his  1970s hit TV series The Six Million Dollar Man.

He had it all, even the beautiful blonde wife, Farrah Fawcett, who starred on the equally successful Charlie's Angels.

He is now married to 50-year-old Faith Majors, who bares a resemblance to Farrah.

Lee and Faith wed in 2002.

He has three ex wives: He was married to Farrah from 1973 until 1982. 

Before that there was wife Kathy Robinson whom he was wed to from 1961 until 1964. 

And then there was Karen Velez, his wife from 1988 until 1994.

In 2019 the actor opened up to People magazine about his nearly 12 year relationship with the Charlie's Angels star Farrah as they were Hollywood's power couple throughout the Seventies.

Majors said that he was introduced to Fawcett by his publicist as they shared a coffee together: 'So that started that. It was very quick, and it lasted about almost 12 years.

'But there was a year or so when I think I saw her two weeks in one year. It’s very difficult with careers like that. This business is tough. Working 14 hours a day, both of you, and the days went by.'

As he starred in The Six Million Dollar Man while she starred in Charlie's Angels, the two were at the height of their fame in the late Seventies which presented it's own set of difficulties.

Lee explained: 'It was hard to get around. It was not quite as hard as it is today with everyone has a cellphone and the social media is so quick. Back then we only had to deal with the paparazzi at large. A lot of time you could evade them, but not all the time.'

The two A-listers were married in 1973 before separating in 1979 ultimately divorcing in 1982.

Lee later married Faith Majors in 2002 whom he has been with for more than two decades as he told People with a smile: 'It is a record in Hollywood.'

Sadly, Fawcett died in June 2009 at the age of 62 after a long battle with cancer.

At the time UsWeekly claimed Lee called Farrah before she died, breaking an over 20 year silence.

They even worked together: Here she is seen in the Peeping Blonde episode of The Six Million Dollar Man in 1974

'He decided to call her for the first time on her birthday in February before she died,' said a source.

'They spoke for the first time in 23 years.

'They had a 40-minute phone conversation about her life, and the cancer and it was such a lovely moment for the two of them. 

'I guess it was a very good conversation. They joked, and they got a little bit emotional.'

And Farrah was the fetching detective with Kate Jackson, far left, and Jaclyn Smith, far right, on Charlie's Angels; seen here, center, in 1976

The source added: 'I think it was good given the current situation [for] closure, otherwise they never would've spoken again. 

'I think he always wanted to talk to her again, but he was just afraid to speak to her before.'

The new Fall Guy movie comes out May 3 and stars Gosling as well as Emily Blunt.

The synopsis reads: 'After leaving the business one year earlier, battle-scarred stuntman Colt Seavers springs back into action when the star of a big studio movie suddenly disappears. As the mystery surrounding the missing actor deepens, Colt soon finds himself ensnared in a sinister plot that pushes him to the edge of a fall more dangerous than any stunt.'

Lee was on the Fall Guy TV series from 1981 until 1986.
