1/ Suzuki’s idea of perfect happiness is “Camping in the mountains beside a stream filled with trout.”
2/ Suzuki says living through the Great Depression taught him to live within his means and save his money, which is why he doesn’t have any extravagances.
3/ Suzuki is a reluctant celebrity. In fact, his friends issue a word of warning to fans thinking of approaching Suzuki in public: stay away, or you’ll be in for a rude awakening.
4/ Suzuki says most people would be surprised to find out he considers his laziness to be his biggest flaw.
5/ David Suzuki has posed twice wearing nothing but a strategically placed fig leaf. The iconic photo was taken to promote a penis doc and re-used to mark the 40th anniversary of The Nature of Things.
