Being identical twins, Williams and Jack Casey have done everything together. As it turns out, they even turned 100 together. Their Didcot retirement home in Oxen was alight in celebration for their birthday, something they've now done a hundred times.
To celebrate their milestone in style, the pair wore inflatable golden crowns. They also spoke to SWNS to share their secrets for such a lengthy life.
Williams, known as Bill, attributed his many years to "clean and healthy living, staying active, sheer determination, and good genes."
"I always intended to reach 100, and now it's here, I'm looking forward to the next 100!" he joked.
When it really comes down to it, Bill believes that taking up a sport and remaining active is what has helped him live so long. "Have an interest in sport, particularly cricket! And keep yourself active," he suggested.
Although Bill may not play sport these days, he still remains active with 20 minutes of exercise a day. Which is a pretty big feat for someone who's got 100 years on their knees.
The Most Important Invention To Someone Who's Seen 100 Years Of History
Outside their discussion of the secret to eternal life, the outlet and Bill spoke on other matters, such as his life and the history he's lived through.
To Bill, the most important invention he's seen in his lifetime is the computer, thanks to the "amazing possibilities" it presents. I guess there have been better things since sliced bread, which I'm sure he was there for.
As twins, Bill and Jack got up to some mischief in their life. Especially when they joined the Royal Electric and Mechanical Engineers in 1945. During their 15-month stay in Malaysia, the pair "got up to lots of tricks being identical twins!"
So, if you want to live a long life like Bill and Jack, make sure to get involved and pick up a sport. Any sport will do, although I suppose cricket has been proven to work.
