Ronnie and Donnie Galyon surpassed the world record
for longest living conjoined twins and celebrated their
63rd birthday recently, Ohio, USA.
Meet Ronnie and Donnie Galyon, the world’s unofficial oldest-
living conjoined twins
The Galyon twins turned 63 on Oct. 28 are yet to receive
their official certificate from the Guinness World Records
confirming they’re the longest-living conjoined twins in
history.



Ronnie and Donnie are joined at the waist and face each
other Ronnie and Donnie are joined at the waist and face each
other. They have four arms and four legs and separate hearts
and stomachs but share a lower digestive tract, a groin, a
rectum and penis, over which Donnie has control.



Ronnie and Donnie supported their family from the age of
four by performing in carnival sideshows and circuses
The twins were born healthy in October 1951 but stayed in
the hospital for two years as doctors tried to figure out how
to separate them. When experts said they could not
guarantee both babies would survive an operation to part
them, the parents said they would stay as they were.



They had trouble sleeping for years, but received a custom-
designed bed that Ronnie says allowed him to ‘sleep like a
baby’



The boys did not go to school as teachers asked them to leave
because they were too distracting to the other students. From
the age of four to 39, they supported their family by
performing in carnival sideshows in the U.S. and circuses
throughout Central and South America.
