A 97-year-old woman was asked what her secret to living is – and the result is hilarious.
Hairdresser Brittany Gannon, 32, decided to ask one of her clients, Julia, what the key to reaching her long age is.
Julia’s tongue-in-cheek remarks have gone viral on TikTok, garnering 1.2 million views and 216,000 likes.
In the video, Brittany asks Julia what her “secret to living” is, to which Julia, from Blackhawk, California, hilariously responds: “I don’t want to live this long.
“I never wanted to live this long.
“I don’t want to see what’s going to happen in the future.”
Brittany asks: “Would you say there’s any special diet or exercise routine that you use?”
To which Julia immediately says: “No I never went to a gym, never exercised or anything.
“I just lived a normal life.”
Brittany prompts: “No healthy food?”
Julia says: “Nope. I never watched what I ate… never went on a diet.
“I go against everything that everybody talks about.”
When Brittany asks if we should expect to see her live another 10-20 more years, Julia quips: “Hope not!”
Her dark humour left TikTok users in hysterics.
One person commented: “Julia is a vibe.”
“I’m cackling – our honest queen,” said another fan.
Someone else joked: “It’s like she’s reading my diary!”
“She lived the dream! She managed to just LIVE. Beautiful,” added another viewer.
Another person said: “She’s hilarious and still very with it.”
“I wanna be her when I grow up,” said one fan. [sic]
“That’s just me today at 33,” quipped someone else.
Another user added: “The key is stress free living as she seems to have perfected.”
Julia visits Brittany at her local hair salon once a week to maintain her locks.
“She has spoken before about how she never expected to live so long, especially since her husband passed many years ago,” Brittany told NeedToKnow.co.uk.
“She has her loving son and his family and really enjoys her weekly appointments.
“She always makes me laugh with her blunt sense of humour.”
