Why the casting gives ClassCastException? Thread class provides the implementation for Runnable interface. Then why cannot we cast???

This is because r1 is an implementer of the Runnable Interface. Thread class also is an implementer of Runnable. But there is no relation between r1(anonymous sub-class referenced by r1) and the Thread class.
