Watch: Barack Obama Meets 102-Year-Old Woman, Asks About Her Secret To Longevity

Former US President Barack Obama interacted with a 102-year-old woman and couldn't resist asking her the secret to looking so good even at that age.

He shared the video of his lively exchange with the lady on his social media platform X with the caption: "Susan, I hope I look as good as you at 102!"

In the video, the centenarian said, "It's so good to be here and to see such a wonderful person." Obama asked with a smile, "Well, you know what I really want to know... what do you eat so I can look like you in a few years? Is it just good genes?"

She laughed and said, "Them greens. Cornbread." Someone accompanying her said, "And the bacon every morning," making Obama laugh. "I'm sure that's what the doctor ordered," he quipped.

"I'm so grateful you came to see me," he said. She replied warmly, "Absolutely." As he was leaving, Obama kissed her hand, and the 102-year-old woman said, "I wouldn't have missed it for anything."

Another wrote, "Looking that good at 102 isn't luck, it's discipline and lifestyle. Longevity has receipts, not just genetics."

Earlier, in 2016, Virginia McLaurin, a 106-year-old community volunteer, fulfilled her dream of visiting the White House. During a Black History Month celebration, she met President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama, according to BBC.

In July 2015, President Obama met Emma Didlake, believed to be America's oldest living veteran at 110 years old. She served in the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps during World War II and later worked with the NAACP, according to the Obama White House.
