jean calment enjoyed life, ate, smoked, drank and did everything a good doctor would forbid...she enjoyed her husband's money, never worked very hard...and most of all she was, like all super centenarians, stress resistant...good genes and the ability to let stress flow from your back like water are in my opinion the only things that are never mentioned when asked for the secret of their long life yet are probably the essential factors in getting to extreme old age.
This little old lady is adorable!.. I heard she even outlived her parents, but not only that!, she also even outlived her grandparents....wow!!!!! that's amazing!.
@nameless212 : Never heard the term before but I figured that "maison de tolérance" meant brothel. Is it an archaic term no longer used in modern French perhaps?
im just posting the translation again Did you meet Van Gogh ?
- Yes
- How ?
- I met him at the end of his life. He was ugly. He was alcoholic.
- Where did you meet him ?
- He came at the store (in Arles). He still painted a little bit. He came to buy some canvas. My husband sold canvas, to paint. NOTE: I did not translate it was on page 3 on 10/27/2010
Think about what kind of shit she must have seen over her life. She was born ten years after the American Civil War and died six years after the Gulf War. She was around before Edison invented the light bulb and when the first automobile was invented. She lived through both World Wars, saw the moon landing and the end of the Cold War. Microsoft was founded when she was 100. She was around when the Internet was invented and died a year before Google was founded.
@DrShaym I read she smoked no more than 2 cigarettes per day, and stopped smoking because her eyes got so out of whack that she could no longer see well enough to light them. She also ate nearly a kilo of chocolate per week, drank lots of port wine, and put olive oil on EVERYTHING...
Who knows, with the 21st century being quite young, living to 120 might become the norm in a few decades. And i mean living to 120 with a younger body. 120 with the body of a 70 year old...That would be so cool, because that means i would have seen the end of the 20th century, all of the 21st, and the beginning of the 22nd. I would turn 122 in 2112
- Then, what did you do after your studied ? - I stayed at home with my parents, I was waiting my marriage. So, I painted, I practised piano, arts. - What did you paint ? - A blind screen, with 5 parts. Each part had a long spray of flower. - Did you remember how was these painted flowers ? - Yes. Roses, iris, anemones, suns. (after the interview) - Here we go - Come on, let's go gaily (french expression) - Gaily, I don't know - Onward, let's go
It's hard to believe that we're all going to die someday... unless we have some kind of medicine that could help us live longer in the future. Now that'll be cool!
She says that she met Van Gogh , he came to her store, he was very famous in town, he drank a lot. She has a very funny way to speak for such an old person she's all like "Let's go, walk!" "Right forward"
If you think about it, Jeanne Calment is old enough to be Adolf Hitler's mother. I know that would be an insult, but everyone has heard about Hitler though, so I used him as an example. At the time she was born, the telephone wasn't even invented yet, and the fastest way to travel was via a steam locomotive. If she died at an average age, she would have died sometime in the 1950's, I think that's incredible. I won't exceed her longevity until February 1, 2103.....a long time from now, lol.
Why is this translated in French? No one speaks French except French people, weirdo Canadians some random Africans and stuck up wine and cheese people.
But other then that Nobody knows what their saying.
@poopaholictar : Belgians, Luxembourgers, Swiss, half of Africa, some Islands in America, some places in Canada. French is the 11th most spoken language (English is the 3rd).
She was a treasure. I find myself in awe, expressed as sadness and joy. How fortunate we were to have this chance to speak with her! I speak French and in one part she said "Alors mon mari servait des toiles, pour peindre". Translation in English: "so my husband served the canvases, to paint [upon]". That's what she said.
I will try to reach at most as I can, but I'd prefer to live a short and active life to spend 40 years laying on a bed being unable to do anything. If I live long, I'd like to do it helping whoever I can. I'm 18 already and I haven't smoke not even once in my life and not even one single glass of alcohol.
wow... first world war.. second world war... all the experience and stuff.. i wish i could talk to that woman one time im seure she have some awesoem storys to tell...
the longest life span ever recorded for a human, she says that she had met a few times the painter Van gogh in Arles where she lived , he was badly damaged by alcoholism and he used to buy canvas from her husband who runed a shop in town
@elobservadorenliinea She did NOT say that!! What a horrible thing to say. U are so ignorant and negative. You will not know a full life in that mindset.
My Nana, at 94 is happy and is still sharp and takes care of herself.
She can even walk to the mall. She can calculate the exact price of what's in her cart.
She also has 5 daughters and a boatload of grandkids and great grandkids who visit often and love her.
@elobservadorenliinea I used to not want to live that long. But think of all the stuff you would see having lived that long. She witnessed the industrial revolution, and lived through both world wars. Hell, she was 25 at the turn of the 20th century. I cant even begin to comprehend all of the stuff she has seen its absolutely incredible. However it would suck outliving all of your friends and family...
She's basically saying about when she met Van Gogh in the shop when he was looking for some different items, going on to describe him. Then she says about how she went to some marriage, after she stayed with her parents and did the painting and played piano.
I just find it astonishing how she lived to 122, I mean if you look at the list of verified oldest people, on wikipedia or anything, most of them are just days apart. But she made it by a few years! Thats quite amazing
yeah, imagine how long she would have lived if she wouldn't have been smoking. She could have lived to maybe 140s...now that would have been amazing. Scientist need to do research on her body, and shoot us up with her genes
@Superflykid2008 Why would you live like her? She can't move very well, hear very well, and the prospect outliving your children, your husband/wife, grandchildren is eerie.
Fuck. I'm fluent in french but without those subtitles, I would have absolutely no clue what so ever of what she was saying. I'd say that I feel sorry for her but she got more than I could ever hope for in life. Lucky, lucky woman.
I'm not so sure that she was very lucky. Think about it, she spent over forty years (from her 80th to 122th b-days), thinking that she would die at any moment and was at the end of her life.
I don't know if i will be able to live until the age of 122 years old, but i'm pretty sure i would live over 90, maybe 100 (because my greatgrandaunt live until 107, my greatgrandma live until 100, and all my grandparents all still alive and healthy and they're over 90) ... but living 122 you would have probably seen everything...wow.. But i believe it not only depends of what you eat but algo of your genes...
You guys realize that her diet consisted of olive oil. Olive oil is high in Vitamin E, thats an anti-oxidant, it is known to slow down the aging process by protecting your cells form free radicals. She also used to bike a lot until she broke her femur falling. A healthy heart and the right type of food and that is the result.
Even though she is 122 she is so intelligent! Some old people completely loose their minds in their 80s. This one has remained bright and remembers her past very clearly.
She should have been treated like a useful human relic.
Jeanne Calment was born before Edison invented the phonograph and the light bulb and before Eiffel had built his tower. She lived to see WW1, she was already old when Hitler was thrown down, and she even saw the first men on the moon....
Incredible. Imagine that: If I reach her age, I will die 2108!
@batemanier according to wiki she was thirteen and it was her uncles store. no mention of marrying her uncle, are you sure about the translation or is she getting her story mixed up. i know some people believe that her story about Van Gogh could not be correct.

Back in my day my father had thing called a CD Player, ow, you don't know what is this ? Don't worry about it my great-great grandson :) You have better "CD Player" ;)
Ill be happy not if i reach 120 but if i raise my kids right and see them raise their kids right because at the end of the day everything is about children...im 19 and happy with my life... thanks mom...
i hope i reach 122. it would be amazing to see how much has changed since i was born. she died at 122 yrs, 164 days so for me to reach that age the date would be June 4th, 2115. WOW ! just WOW !
jean calment enjoyed life, ate, smoked, drank and did everything a good doctor would forbid...she enjoyed her husband's money, never worked very hard...and most of all she was, like all super centenarians, stress resistant...good genes and the ability to let stress flow from your back like water are in my opinion the only things that are never mentioned when asked for the secret of their long life yet are probably the essential factors in getting to extreme old age.

Jeanne Calment was born before Edison invented the phonograph and the light bulb and before Eiffel had built his tower. She lived to see WW1, she was already old when Hitler was thrown down, and she even saw the first men on the moon....
Incredible. Imagine that: If I reach her age, I will die 2108!

Translation :
- Did you meet Van Gogh ?
- Yes
- How ?
- I met him at the end of his life. He was ugly. He was alcoholic.
- Where did you meet him ?
- He came at the store (in Arles). He still painted a little bit. He came to buy some canvas. My husband sold canvas, to paint.

@batemanier according to wiki she was thirteen and it was her uncles store. no mention of marrying her uncle, are you sure about the translation or is she getting her story mixed up. i know some people believe that her story about Van Gogh could not be correct.

- Did Van Gogh chose his canvas ?
- Of course. He touched them. It wasn't my husband. My husband wasn't a specialist. At the end of his life, Van Gogh wasn't the same.
- At this time, Van Gogh was famous ?
- Yes. He went to whorehouse. Not to the women. He spent too much money. He gave money to drink.
- How long did you study ?
- I went to school until the Brevet (she was about 11-12 years old I think)

OMFG in 1935 she was 60 years old (almost 10 years before my grandparents borned), since there she was an elderly person =O
...and in 1965! she was 90 years old, people could think she would die soon.

Yeah seriously. My grandma on my mother's side was only a year old and my grandpa was 6 years old when she was already 60!!!
