Christian Mortensen
Christian Mortensen was a Danish-American supercentenarian who lived to be 115 years old, making him the world's oldest man at the time until he was surpassed by Jiroemon Kimura. Born in 1882, Mortensen's lifestyle was unconventional; he smoked cigars regularly from a young age and lived largely alone, which contradicts many modern theories about longevity. His remarkable age sparked interest in the factors contributing to extreme longevity, highlighting that no single lifestyle choice guarantees a long life.
