US president Barack Obama has questioned how old Hollywood’s golden girl Betty White really is in a joke video tribute filmed for her 90th birthday celebrations.
In the video he pens a letter to White, who turned 90 on Tuesday, January 17 the same day the president’s wife Michelle Obama celebrates her birthday, asking to see her long-form birth certificate as he claims that White cannot really be 90 years of age.
“Dear Betty. You look so fantastic and full of energy, I can’t believe you’re 90 years old. In fact, I don’t believe it. That’s why I’m writing to ask if you will be willing to produce a copy of your long-form birth certificate,” he says in the video.
The clip aired as part of NBC special Betty White’s 90th Birthday: A Tribute to America’s Golden Girl which attracted 13.85 million viewers in the US.
