For 2 sisters from Perth, Australia, not having people tell them apart is their goal in life. So far, Anna and Lucy DeCinque, who are identical twins, have spent an estimated $250,000 (€232,772) on plastic surgery to make sure that they look like one and the same person, and this has earned them the title of world’s most identical twins.

They’re awfully proud of it too, because they take pleasure not just in looking like one person but in living like one as well. The girls previously made international headlines for their revelation that they shared their life 27/7, down to having one boyfriend.

The DeCinque girls travel to Japan, are deemed “world’s most identical”

Australia’s Channel Seven (video below) reports that the girls traveled to Japan recently after producers of a famous show saw them on YouTube and was shocked by how much they resembled each other. They were asked to be on said show, competing with a pair of twins from the country, also deemed identical.

They played pranks on people and were subject to a variety of tests, with the tipping point being that not even a computer could tell the difference between them.

In the end, they were ruled the world’s most identical twins, and they’re happy with the distinction, because they can now use it as a tagline in their various appearances.

The say that it’s the right prize for their sustained efforts to look the same no matter what: they eat the same foods, they work out together, they sleep in the same bed, they’re never apart and they got the exact same plastic surgery interventions.

Two girls, one life

Indeed, Anna and Lucy have put a lot of effort, time and money into looking like one person. They estimated they’ve already spent $250,000 (€232,772) on plastic surgery, including lip injections, breast implants and some facial reconstruction.

However, they insist that they were born identical: they just went under the knife at the same time to ensure that people would never be able to tell them apart.

They also have only one job between them, they buy the same clothes to dress alike, drive one car and share the same bed. Until some time ago, they dated different men, but because of their obsession of always being together, it didn’t work out.

So they came up with the idea of sharing the boyfriend along with everything else.

“We are never more than a few meters apart, wherever my sister goes, I go as well. We follow each other,” they say. “We argue every day, but over little things. It's natural… but we get over it. We're best friends so we never want to lose each other.”
