The Amazing Threesome: 70+ Nursing Home Residents’ Performance Takes the Internet by Storm!
Talent night at the care home may not be the event that gets everyone excited or has people waiting up hours in advance. However, it is a moment of great excitement for residents who get to show off hidden abilities or skills they’ve developed over the years, frequently surprising their peers.
Some elders may even assume they have evolved new talents in their elderly years, such as walking stick tricks or unique denture skills.
In 2009, a spectacular performance from Leisure World care facility in Seal Beach, California, caught the heart of this exhilaration and went viral on YouTube, with nearly 16 million views.
Three senior males in their 70s take on the stage dressed in black trousers, black shoes, white socks, and white T-shirts. They move in a single file, hands resting on their aching backs, to the dramatic sounds of the Star Wars theme.
They face the audience, backs turned, and wait calmly as the music plays. When the time comes, The Amazing Threesome demonstrate their unique abilities, much to the delight and entertainment of their pals. Even though the performance is in slow motion, it is memorable enough to capture hearts and become viral.
