Meet Carly Johnson, a proud 40-year-old mom to 17-year-old Kia Douglas. People often refer to them as the "female Benjamin Button" because despite their significant 23-year age difference, they are often mistaken for best pals.
From The Mirror UK:
Thankfully, "young at heart" Carly doesn't mind the confusion, which the mother-daughter duo are happy to laugh about. Although it does sometimes lead to awkward hiccups, according to the mum, from Stockport, Greater Manchester.
She explained: "We get mistaken for sisters all the time. It happens everywhere. I take it as a compliment.
"We went out for Kia's 17th birthday and I asked a waiter if he could take a picture when my daughter came back from the toilet and he was so confused. He thought we were two friends out for dinner.
"On holiday someone told Kia to tell her sister the food was ready. She told her I was her mum and she brought the staff out to show them. They were so shocked."
Luckily, the pair take everything in their stride. "Kia doesn't mind it. She's not embarrassed. We're really close and we share clothes," said Carly.
As for her youthful look, she puts it down to her "good genes". "People call me Benjamin Button and that I age backwards. I've always looked young for my age. When I was 21 I probably looked like 16," explained the mum-of-one.
Seriously, this woman looks amazing.
Someone needs to bottle up those genes for the rest of us!
