Answer 1

I really doubt it.  BUT it will be interesting to see what happens when they examine his remains

Answer 2

sure it would be in his genes and also what he ate in his lifetime and if he worried which i doubt he did so therefore he was 129 or 139

Answer 3

He doesn't look like he was 138 years old. I doubt he knew how old he was. My Granny who thinks she is in her late 80's has been telling me she is 86 for the last several years now and she is a good 10 years older than that if she is a day. She is so old she can't remember  if she is the youngest girl or her sister is the youngest. She told me years ago that her sister was the baby of the family but neither one of them remember who the baby of the family is. My Granny really looks old and he was born at home as were her brothers and sisters and none of them have a birth certificate so they are pretty old. My Granny looks older than the man in this picture so I'd say his memory is the same place my Granny's memory is.

Answer 4
