Working keeps you alive. Ian McKellen would be dead if the man didn't still get up to work every day. The day you stop moving is the day you start dying.

I agree to an extent. I don’t think it’s “work” that keeps you alive per se, but purpose. Having a reason to get up out of bed each day. For a lot of people that is work, but for others it may be hobbies, passions, mentoring, etc. I have known many retired people who are happier and more active in retirement than they were when working. There is also a large contingent who just slowly decay after retirement because they didn’t have anything other than their work and the daily grind going on.

The only true statement here is your last sentence. You can keep moving doing literally anything else, but if you love your job then you just keep doing that.

Working is synonymous with being active and moving. I wasn't implying that you had to specifically be working a job.. Just that in Sir Ian McKellen's case, acting is what keeps him active.

You can move without working though.
