"Many people have asked me what do I actually do to prepare myself and get ready for a major summer tour. Well, let me show you," the charming singer stated in his video.
The footage then showed a clip of an adorable grandfather-grandson moment where Donny was seen operating a claw tractor with one of his grandkids, whom he nestled safely in his lap.

After that clip was done, Donny's happy face popped back on the screen and he joked, "I don't know who was having more fun, me or my grandson, but that's how I get ready for a major summer tour."
Upon seeing Donny's comedically endearing video, the public reaction was a mixture of delightful surprise and concern. Many found themselves fixated on the "Sweet and Innocent" artist's youthful glow, with some in awe of how he managed to look so young, especially as a grandpa.
"What!? You mean you're not that kid's dad!!!??? 🤣🤣🤣" exclaimed an Instagrammer. Similarly, another echoed the sentiment and expressed, "Donny Osmond a [grandpa]? Hahahaha I'm thinking you are forever young? Isn't being [a grandpa] great fun? I love [grandmotherhood], don't you? 🥰"
"Loved you forever. Still lookin good D," complimented a fan. On the other hand, others felt that Donny has managed to stay looking so young with some help from cosmetic procedures.
"Stop the plastic surgery Donny. You're starting to look like Wayne Newton," criticized a social media user. Agreeing with this comment, another person replied, "Seriously. So sad."

For those who think the Hollywood star may have had some work done to his face, Donny set the record straight on that matter in 2016. Reflecting on his life as he celebrated reaching an iconic milestone of 50 years in show business, Donny disclosed whether or not he had gotten any plastic surgery.

The "Too Young" musician, who had previously performed five nights a week in Las Vegas with his famous sister, Marie Osmond, for eight years, initially quipped, "So the surgery worked?" He then truthfully divulged, "I don't do any pampering, no (cosmetic) treatments, nothing."
However, he did also admit, "I did try Botox once. Never again. I couldn't move my face muscles." Donny credited his youthful appearance to having good genes and said, "I guess, I'd have to thank my mom for that." He also added, "I work out a lot and I am careful what I eat."
Besides a few facial lines and an odd gray hair or two, the Mormon who doesn't drink alcohol pretty much has the same handsome face that garnered bountiful female attention in his teen idol days.
To this day, Donny Osmond still leaves his female fans swooning over him; however, he remains committed to his beloved wife, Debbie Osmond, whom he met when he was just 16. The lovebirds have been married for over 40 years and celebrated their anniversary in May.

Donny and Debbie celebrated their 46th anniversary by sharing a rare wedding photo on Instagram. In it, Debbie wears a white veil and dress as she cuts their four-tiered wedding cake, while Donny—dressed in a blue tuxedo—gazes at the sweet treat she sliced.
Reflecting on their unconventional honeymoon in Las Vegas in 1978, where they performed shows with his family, Donny wrote, "Certainly a honeymoon we'll never forget." He also hinted at a then-upcoming trip that the two planned on taking, suggesting a more private affair: "No one will know where we are."

In his anniversary message, Donny also alluded to a song by Bill Withers and Grover Washington Jr., inviting his fans to guess the track. One fan enthusiastically replied, "Happy Anniversary, and that would be 'Just The Two Of Us.'" Others shared warm greetings and expressed joy for the couple.
"I am sooooo happy for you both. You two are an inspiration [to] us all. Happy Anniversary," another fan commented. On the other hand, the sight of Donny's younger self brought back fond memories for other admirers.
