Coronation Street icon, who has played Ken Barlow for over 60 years, reckons he is 25 years younger than he’s supposed to be.

Bill turned 90 last week, but revealed that doctors told him that he has the body of a 65-year-old.The actor declared that as proof that his belief in “youthing” is enabling him to turn time on its head.Bill said: “The first thing we need to do is to accept that ageing is a belief system and we do not have to accept it.“Decline is not inevitable.

I continue to drive myself to work, for example, and everywhere else.“ITV has very kindly offered to send a car to pick me up, and I may accept sometime, but for now I am very happy to drive myself.“I had a health check not long ago that gave me the body age of 65.“I will be happy when I see that age going down.

Then I will know I really am ‘youthing’.”He added: “I am looking forward to being a centenarian in perfect health.”Bill’s beliefs mirror the plot in hit movie The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button, which stars Brad Pitt as a man who ages in reverse.He is baffled that “quite a big deal” was being made out of him reaching his milestone 90th birthday.Bill added: “I am obviously very pleased about this, but the celebration of longevity is a clear indication that the ageing process is generally seen as a decline.“The truth, as I see it, is very different.

Camden City schools consider making extra school security permanent
CAMDEN, N.J. - After the mass shooting in the southern Texas elementary school, New Jersey announced schools will have extra police presence. But, in Camden County, will the extra presence be permanent?Students flooded out of Camden High School in the afternoon, waving signs in solidarity and sorrow for the children and teachers massacred in Texas."Are you concerned about your safety?" FOX 29’s Jeff Cole asked."So, yes, because now it’s easier to get a gun anywhere, same as the 18-year-old in Texas," 9th grade student Damian Irizarry replied.RELATED HEADLINES:Some 400 students attend Camden High and there are many doors in the building, students say.That fear, largely brought on by the slaughter in Texas, is why officials gathered on the steps of the high school."Our young people and their families deserve to know and to be assured that their students are safe each and every day," Camden City Schools Superintendent Katrina McCombs stated.For the rest of the school year, Camden Police say they’re teaming up with the Camden County sheriffs to strengthen security outside more than a dozen school buildings in the city."We’re going to have two or three officers at every school patrolling and walking beats, as well," Chief of Police Gabriel Rodriguez said.It’s a heavy lift in a city struggling with grinding poverty, but the chief says he’ll have at least one cop outside all schools when students and staff are there."Could your officers stop an 18-year-old with an AK-15?" Cole asked."I’m sure they can.
