Fair play!
A man believed to be a whopping 121-years of age has been found living in Chile.
According to his public identity card, Celino Villaneuva Jaramillo was born in the year 1896.
Meaning he can say he's been alive to witness Three-Centuries and Two-Millenniums, not a bad effort!
In fact, Celino is actually four-years older than the current Guinness World Record holder for the World's oldest person.
Provided his mind is still in tact, Celino would be able to remember some, if not all of the following:
• The invention of flight (1903)
• World War One (1914-18)
• The Great Depression (1929-32)
• World War Two (1939-45)
• The Cuban Missile Crisis (1962)
• The Moon Landing (1969)
• The fall of the Berlin Wall (1989)
• And the September 11 attacks (2001)
That is some life! Imagine sitting down for a cuppa tea and a few stories with this lad...
Also if he wouldn’t mind sharing some of his secrets, that’d be great...
