I'm skeptical.
The oldest man to ever live, Jiroemon Kimura, only lived to 116. Only 7 men have ever lived (confirmed) to 114 or older.
Now here is someone who has the health and wellness of a much younger man, claiming to be the oldest man who's ever lived by 3 years (a huge outlier!). We should have a healthy dose of skepticism of such claims.
Even Jeanne Calment is being re-examined based primarily on how much of an outlier she was at 122 years old, 3.5 years older than the next oldest person ever[0].
