97-year-old Hollywood star Betty White says drinking VODKA is the secret to living longer

Best. Advice. Ever! - by Amy Sinclair
  • 29 Jan 2019

She’s one of most famous and most-loved women in the world - and Betty White is only getting better with age. 

Whether you’re 25 or 85, chances are you’re a fan of the Hollywood icon who’s won over millions of fans thanks to her stints on Golden Girls, The Mary Tyler Moore Show and even The Proposal. And who can forget her stint hosting Saturday Night Live?!

97-year-old Hollywood star Betty White says drinking VODKA is the secret to living longer

And now just weeks after her 97th birthday, the Golden Girl star has revealed her secret to a long and healthy life - and there isn’t a kale leaf or turmeric shot in sight!

When asked what the secret to living longer, she replied ‘vodka and hot dogs ... probably in that order.’

She adds: 'I’m a health nut. My favourite food is hot dogs with French fries. And my exercise: I have a two-story house and a very bad memory, so I’m up and down those stairs.’

Her love of fast food is no surprise given that she’s ‘not a big cook.’ Adds Betty: ‘I only go in the kitchen to feed my dog.’

As for drinking, the actress and comedian once made a video where she can be seen saying: ‘Doctors say drinking a glass of wine a day can extend your life’ ... before picking up a glass of vino the size of her head and saying ‘Cheers!’

Don’t you just love her!?

In this skit, Betty laughs that having a (very big) glass of wine a day is recommended by doctors!

Revealing that she’s lived a wonderful life, she says: ‘I have no regrets at all. None. I consider myself to be the luckiest old broad on two feet.’

As for her ongoing success, Betty says: ‘I had no idea that I would still be around at this point for one thing, but that I’d still be privileged enough to still be in this business. And it is such a privilege. And the bottom line I think to the television business is that unless you’re a real bad egg, it is such fun. It really is. Thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart.’

Awwww!
