- October 17 1995; Jeanne Calment surpasses the (since retracted) claim of Shigechiyo Izumi. In reality she had held the title of World's Oldest Ever person for over FIVE YEARS and would extend the all-time record to 122 years, 164 days. On her 122nd birthday she said: 'Can anyone beat that...?'

She sold coloured pencils to Vincent Van Gogh - wow!! She was 39 years old when World War 1 broke out and she remembers the Eiffel Tower being built! She drank wine, smoked, ate chocolate and LAUGHED, God bless her.
Her description of him made me actually laugh out loud.

This woman set a record that may never be broken 122 plus years is crazy. I mean 90 plus yrs is common now for healthy people, but i feel onve you go over 95 you really live on the edge of that any day now.
smoking kills
She died seventeen years ago, and I am still waiting for that fucking longevity pill.
***** Thank you my lord and saviour.
***** I know. I'm just talking about what they were talking about in the video.
Jesus will give us eternal life if we believe. Amen
25 years ago since she went to heaven almost and still no pill.. I wonder if they will ever make one. Also no one has come close to beating her record yet. I wonder when that can happen
122 years old? That’s hard to believe.
Kinda but the current oldest person is almost 119. I bet living very old will start to become more common
Where’s that pill that should have came in 2005??? Also I’ll be her age in 2121. I bet that will be normal by then
"How do you see the future?"
"Very Short."
that's some vintage sass.
😂😂😂😂 that's funny
Jeanne Calment Also Survived Her Entire Family You remember that Turtle that had a rivalry with the entire dynasty of a bunny and survived them all
That's Basically Jeanne
Such an badass
She knew Van Gogh? Damn.
There is no circumstantial evidence of her faking her age merely speculation. She did however claim she met (different from knew) Van Gogh and said he was an ugly alcoholic. Now whether she lied about meeting Van Gogh or her age, we will never know
@SuperCorrector1 your an idiot because she actually knew him
@SuperCorrector1 none of which you can actually name... niceee dude
SuperCorrector1
really? I love history and love to read and hear stories from older people.. They are living history so what articles have you read..
Zdub Gaming There was absolutely no evidence of that. Those are only claims that lack any real evidence. Quit being such a conspiracy theorist.
She would have been 15 when she sold pencils to Vincent van Gogh. Insane.
Wow didn't expect to see you here.
@Mr MemeBucket 14
@Mr MemeBucket 14 was mentioned. We need to consider the months aswell.
And she said Van Gogh was ugly and disagreeable LMAO
Imagine reaching the age of 100 and you still have 22 years to go.
well the point is you never know
@@Filipsoon true ngl-
Statistically much less than 1 percent of us will live to 100. Sobering thought
@@ryanp987 Saddening. But then again, a recent survey showed that up to 1/3rd of babies born in the UK will live to 100 or so.
@Mike Jeanne was actually fit and able well in to her hundreds and only started showing signs of aging when she moved into her retirement home.
Imagine being 61 and realising you’ve only lived half of your life!
Thats crazy when you put it like that 😂
Truee
Wine, smoking and chocolate, everything in moderation seems to work.

She was just lucky! She never caught a disease.
@Lewis Costello G They may have died from the stress of quitting but who knows
@Lewis Costello G my Dad's Aunt was the same. Smoked tea leaves rolled in newspaper her whole life. In her 90's when visiting her doctor she causally mentioned she was thinking of quitting due to her advanced age. The doctor apparently literally laughed at her and asked "what's the point in stopping now? You've made it this far."
Wow, she was old when old people were young!
Right 😂😂😂😂
She is actually her daughter Yvonne who is 20 years younger...strong evidence of this
Stop spreading fake news
@@cruzloera4931 it was 7 years ago lol
If you know what people look like in their 90s then you would know she was much older then that
R.I.P 1875-1997
So weird to see that still.
wish she was born 1878. 1878-2000 spans 3 centuries!
@@Lord_Thistlewick_Flanders 2001 would have been the new millemium and century.
@Walter Rivera i hope ur joking
The American President was Ulysses S. Grant when she was born and Bill Clinton when she died....Just wrap your mind around that!
Wow, this woman was 80 before my grandmother was born, turned 100 before my mother was born, and didn't die until the year I was born. Imagine living that long.
Jeanne lived very close to the maximum possible for a human, (which is estimated to be 125 years by most Gerontologists). Still more than 3 years longer than the recently passed Kane Tanaka at 119. I suspect her genetics, lifestyle and dietary avoidance of excesses was behind it. Cocoa and Olive Oil are well known to slow down the aging process and she ate quite a-bit of both all her life.
To think she was past 20 years old in 1900 and managed to live till 1997 completely destroy my mind...
And the fact she knew someone famous from the 1800s
Imagine if she lived til the year 2000 😱😂
Godlike 💯
For me to be 122 it would be in 2121. I bet that will be more common by then
@@KingJackson11355 I will be 122 in 2128
She was 94 when we first went to the moon....lived until 1997....almost 2000. Wow.
My mom told me that they thought 2000 would be the day the world ends.
@@joepapa6329 I was 13 in 2000 and yes some people did think that the world would end. It was called the millennium bug, the theory was that computers couldn't cope changing from 99 to 00 meaning planes would fall out the sky, hospitals shutting down etc etc. Most people thought it was rubbish as you can imagine but a worrying amount of people did believe it was going to happen at midnight new year's eve lol.
@@joepapa6329 My mom was terrified Y2K would cause planes to crash and banks to fail lol
Scary!
I remember on December 21st 2012 they thought the world was going to end. Also I hope the new generations live longer then her!
she gived up smoking then died
Logic!
gived
Yes, 2 YEARS after.
I wonder if she would have lived longer if she never smoked.
My fathers grandmother who lived to her early 90's was a heavy smoker. She wrapped tealeaves in Irish News newspaper. My father told me she visited her doctor at the age of 90 and said she was considering giving up smoking becuase of her old age. The doctor laughed and basically told to her she's made it this far, and giving up smoking now would probably kill her given the shock giving up nicotine would cause to her body. The story always makes me chuckle when I think about it.
I'm still waiting for that pill that extends my life by 50 years.
Still waiting...
There is no pill right now but someday there will be
lol right, 4 years later after this comment too..still no pill
Turns out she lied and used her mother’s identity to not pay inheritance tax.
Aaron 7 months later still no pill
Wow, she lived through the times of Tchaikovsky, Ragtime, Elvis, Beatles, Led Zeppelin, ABBA, Queen, Bon Jovi, MJ, Spice Girls, Backstreet Boys, TLC, etc
She literally lived through the most drastic advancement of civilization
She outlived Kurt Cobain :(
She heard music go downhill
@@niltomega2978 in 1997 music was still good. Especially hip-hop, rap was great in the 90s
@JimJamSandwich she was 92 when Kurt Cobain was born!
To give a modern equivalent:
Imagine if Amelia Earhart was still alive in 2019
Woah
Adolf Hitler living until 2011.
Or even crazier:
Heinrich Himmler still being alive (as of 2021).
For today (11/2023), it's like Hirohito, Leopold III, Walt Disney, Saud of Saudi Arabia or George Orwell still being alive, crazy
She really is the 8th Wonder of the World if you think about it.
Her kids probably even died before her. How weird is that
She had one daughter who died of Pneumonia in 1934 and a grandson who died in a car crash in 1963. She outlived her grandson by 34 years.
Wow, that's actually so amazing but weird!
Marita768 she must be pissed.
That’s true. She outlived her daughter by decades.
Not weird at all. Especially for someone to achieve such a grand age as she did. My grandma died at 99 years old and both of her sons (my uncles) had passed on years before she did. When someone gets to be real old such as 90s 100s or let alone the super-centenarians such as Ms. Calment living to the ripe old age of 122... my god you can damn well expect to outlive a lot of your younger family relatives..
hmm, well, it's been about two decades since this... wheres my immortal pill?
***** Your comments are pretty ignorant and "narrow-minded".
Only our descendants will get that pill. Biological science is progressing way too slow for any of us living to get that pill
She ate two pounds of chocolate a week! Here I come Hershey's!
It's the bitter chocolate. Not the delicious milk chocolate we are used to.

A Centranarian is 100-109, Super Centranarian 110-119, So would it be Super-Duper Centranarian for someone in their 120's?
they dont refer as a super-duper centranarian when a person passes in their 120s b/c its just so rare
I think it goes - Super -Hyper - Mega - Ultra
I've thought about that, but she is the only documented one in history to reach over 120 that there'd be no need to set a category. So the category is just her name ;)
Mega-Centenarian
Ryan Friedman someone in their 120’s - 140’s
122 years old, wow. I'd love to live that long. Even if I was an immobile vegetable i'd enjoy it, just seeing the world progress. If I were to live 122 years i'd die in 2121.
Imagine what the world would look like by then.
This woman was alive before there were computers, airplanes, cars, women's rights, if she was four years older she'd have been alive when Canada became a country.
You probably wouldn't enjoy that, my grandpa died at age 102 and he actually wanted to die because the world was getting too boring
9 years older (Canada was founded in 1867)
@@tritongeeves9371 So 8 years. She was born in 1875.
Voetbalgek correct I can not do math I guess
I don't think you want to see 2100.. The world is dying
I couldn't believe it when I heard the Van Gogh thing it's absolutely unbelievable!!
So she was born before Hitler, Stalin, Walt Disney, FDR, Charlie Chaplin, Marilyn Monroe, MLK, Mussolini - and outlived them by decades!!
Imperial France lasted till 1870. She was born during the third republic of France !
If she hadn't given up smoking she would probably still be alive.
Yeah if u so old and stay addicted to tabacco than u shouldnt stop. Body will collapse as u saw. I think 1 of 100.000 has no Problem with cigarettes. Nicotin combined with a longlife genetic seems to make the rare people tougher
John27346 If she had never smoked she'd probably still be alive.
Neros Animaljam Probably not. Some peoples' genes are just so good that smoking hardly harms them at all.
She smoked at *most* 2 cigarettes per day, and it's not known whether she inhaled or not. She quit smoking at about age 113-114 when she broke her hip. Surprisingly, she quit smoking not on health grounds, but because her eyesight was so poor that she was not able to light her cigarettes herself, and was too embarrassed to ask others to light them for her.
John27346 What a bizarre comment! She lived as long as she could. Scientists do agree that there is a "biological limit", you know. If she were alive now, she'd be pushing 140. Get real.
In 1965, aged 90 and with no heirs left, Calment signed a life estate contract on her apartment with civil law notary André-François Raffray, selling the property in exchange for a right of occupancy and a monthly revenue of 2,500 francs (€380) until her death. Raffray died in 1995, by which time Calment had received more than double the apartment's value from him, and his family had to continue making payments. Calment commented on the situation by saying, "in life, one sometimes makes bad deals" - Wikipedia source 😁😁😁
I love this old lady!❤❤❤
Everyone in 1896: Life is short
Jeanne Calment: tiens ma bière
'' The oldest documented person that ever lived was a French woman named Jeanne Calment who made it to 122 years. What was her secret? According to French researcher Jean-Marie Robine, “She never did anything special to stay in good health.” Jeanne Calment smoked cigarettes (started at age 21), drank port wine and ate a couple of pounds of chocolate sweets a week until she was 119 years old. ''
crunk4124 That's leaving a large part of the story untold. She also exercised regularly (but didn't "overdo" herself) and rode bikes.
crunk4124 My kinda lady 😘
No one mentions what the cigs were. French unfiltered? There are claims that American burley (sugar cured) is the problem. Maybe what she smoked was actually healthy...plus French fresh produce, available to the wealthy.
Even if she was a 99yesr old imposter daughter, making the 99 mark is still impressive.
@@patpick5587 I agree. She probably smoked Dunhills...

Hey I don't know about you. But I'm feeling 122
That was a cute (and fitting) Taylor Swift reference! :)
Lol for me to be 122 it will be in 2121. I hope that will he normal by then!
Im 22 and she died at 122 meaning I have 100 years before I can beat her record even tho Im feeling very doubtful I can make it to that age
But Becoming that age is getting more common, since modern medicine is keeping people alive way longer when they should have died a long time ago, and modern medicine is only getting better and more sufficient so no need really to be doubtful, it isn’t the 1800s anymore lol, besides I’ve seen quite a bit of people that are in their 90’s and early 100’s but that’s besides the point
@@sammytheusername6818 Will any of us particularly want to be around in 2121
@@andrewtucker94 probably not but biologically we will have no choice
Yeah it’s probably going to become more normal. The oldest person alive now is almost 119
so she was still smoking at 118 years old?
Wow, I find it amazing that this women lived in my lifetime (born 1996), was in her 40s during WW1 and was born about 4 years after the fall of the 2nd French Empire and the creation of the German empire. She lived in a era when most countries still publically executed people and the worlds largest empires were still expanding. Its amazing to think about how much the world has changed in this woman's lifetime.

Imagine being 80 and living 42 more years
5:22 HEYYYY, Fuckin A
Crazy how she's the only person so far to live past 120 and the oldest person ever to have lived. Someone else will likely get past that 120 mark at some point, but Jean will always be the first.

Imagine if she lived til 2000 too, she would of seen 3 centuries 😱
Think of all the people who could’ve lived as long if they hadn’t been killed in the First World War...damn.
It’s extraordinary to believe all the world events and tragedies she had to witness in her long life , like damn she almost half the age of the USA lol
Right? She has casual memories of a famous dude from the 1800s and most people are fascinated with that time in general
people say smoking can kill you but she lived for over a hundred years what to do
this is one example, you cant use 1 person as an example to put down the whole theory that smoking lowers age expectancy
Major anomaly.
psufball1 Actually, you can. There have been many, many smokers who live very long lives. Scientist like to blame smoking for early deaths and for reasons of cancer without considering, they would have likely had cancer any way due to other environmental and genetic reasons.
akeem111ify I think that the number one killer is stress. Her doctor said she lived a stress-free life in a temperate climate, that helped her.
I think the type of cigarette matters.

She was born 7 years before Richard Wagner died and still outlived Kurt Cobain.
Jeanne Calment was born in 1875 and Richard Wagner died in 1883 and that is 8 years not 7.

Is she suppose to be the woman from SpongeBob
4.5 billion heartbeats in her life nice anecdote
It's amazing at how many people are shocked that she didn't die after smoking that many years. Scientist like to feed the world a lot of B.S. but, the fact is the people who got cancer, would have likely had it any way due to genetic and environmental factors. She lived that long because, it was meant for her to live that long. Apparently, she's had a lot of fun in her life and was able to see things many of us wish we could have seen. I'm sure she was very thankful for her life. I do wish they had of told about whether or not she had any children, grandchildren, great grandchildren living. Does anyone know her personally or know if there's anything they didn't tell?
while luck and genetics take part in getting old they are by far not everything.
the so called scientist are the reason where we are atm so calm down and talk about them like they just lie to us.
this is just one example. she doesnt prove that smoking is np nor does she prove that smoking is bad.
you cant tell things like that just out of 1 example.
thats why people always mess things up. they take long living smokers to justify their habits or are like "WHAAAT how can she live that long with smoking".
its just a probability thing. you can eat mercury every day and get 100 years.
smoking just decrease your lifetime in general. that doesnt say anything about an individual but about a population.
smoke and you decrease your chance of becoming old.
BuGGyBoBerl she smoked 2 cigarettes a day not 2 packs of cigarettes. It's important to keep balance in everything.
SileX84 balance? i agree with you but in what way is smoking only a tiny amount a sort of balance. its just like you eat a bit poison every day instead of much poison.
as said. its all about probability
What difference does it make? There are a lot of people who smoke and live to be really old. There are a lot of people who don't smoke and die too young. I just think that the "Truth" commercials go overboard.
Serenity G.
yeah but what does that mean? that you can do a lucky shot and survive long with cigs? imagine how long you may survive without it. imagine whats the chance to get that lucky shot. i really dont see that as a justification to smoke. 25% of it get copd. 90% of lung cancer patients are smokers, im not sure how much but 20-30% sounds legit higher chance of getting some problems with your heart.
smoking is nothing that is overboard. its damn harmful and our society atm dont blame it too much.
This woman had a live ! God bless her. Imagine how many stories she was able to tell
It's beyond godlike 💯

she was a smoker until she was 118? wow! i WAS going to quit smoking but now i won't bother!
Smoking now is very costly at 50.00 a carton for nobrand names and 75.00 to 100.00 plus. In 2019 I quit in 2013 and never started again cold threw them out made hubby paint the house on inside and got rid of the books they smelled like smoke it was in everything and you can't get that smell out of them. So I through out all my clothes and made more for me. I bought lots of cloth. I can't be around smoke today at all it closes up my throat and I can't breath that's wood smoke too. We live In the country and some of our neighbors burn wood to heat their homes. They aren't close to us I can't see their houses even. But I can smell their smoke. So I would stop smoking because it will hurt you. They use bug killers on it now days to get the tobacco worms off it. Way back they hand picked them off it so it want prelouted like it is today. That's what kills our lungs indians smoked it many years and never dead from them. But today we even die from our food we eat with all the extra stuff in it. Don't taste good at all. We are so persreved we don't have to be imbomped when we die. We are the only country like that a few years ago now.
Thsts literally so mind boggling she was less then 3 years shy of living in 3 different centuries 😱🤯 let that sink in seeing the 19th , 20th ,and Almost 21st
OMG she likes chocolate o.o
(2:14) She gets pushed into a wheelchair, person talks to her in the ear loudly because she's nearly deaf, like chocolate. Like the spongebob episode B-)
Those who dispute Jeanne Calment's age are doing her a great disservice. The hypothesis that she switched places with her daughter Yvonne has been categorically debunked.
Look at her hands at the start. Her skin aging is far advanced and not something you would expect to see in someone younger than a 110. Yvonne would be 97 in this video if the hypothesis were true and I can see from her appearance she is no less than 115.
The case of Lucy Hannah (allegedly 1875-1993) was recently invalidated.
Exactly. If you knew what a 97 year old looks like you would know she was much older then that
So where them pills at?
I'm looking forward to see the effects of science evolution in 50 years, who knows? Maybe reaching 110 years of age will be common by then!
Welp that pill might happen - but only for the select few - the rest of us are being wiped out. Good on her for living such a long life. I'm relying on the smoking, drinking, laughing and stress free life to try and out do her! 140 here I come!
Be alive today if she stopped smoking earlier
It's hard to believe at thirteen she may have even met jack the ripper and didn't know
Imagine if she hadn't smoked!!
How old do you want to live, I want to be 96
"I ask what should would do if she could live her life again, and she answered in a flash": 04:02

Rest in Peace - Jeanne Calment
Lol I though that was funny
She passed away merely two days before I was born
She witnessed the first cars, WWI, the Spanish Flu, the Rise of the Soviet Union, the Rise of Fascism in Italy, the Rise of Nazism, WWII, the Occupation of France, the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the Assassination of JFK, the Moon Landing, the Fall of the Berlin wall and the Fall of the Soviet Union.
And so much more absolutely godlike 💯🙏
Smash or pass?
"They were building the Eiffel tower." WHAT THE *FUCK*
I was born on the day she died 🤯 time to live for another 100 years lol
If you are to accomplish that then you will need the full package, (including things outside your control like good genes). Otherwise, there is no reason why you can't. You get closer to a 120 each day.
