Christopher Alvarez, 24, from New York, believes he is the oldest person in the world with his condition - a rare form of dwarfism called Thanatophoric dysplasia type II. Christopher wasn-t expected to live past the age of five but despite doctors- grim prognosis, he has exceeded all expectations and recently graduated from Columbia University with a masters in journalism. As well as working the news beat, Christopher also uses his journalistic skills to help him track down and meet some of his favourite celebrities, including Billie Eilish, Lil Nas X, Jennifer Lopez and Selena Gomez

I wont say celebrities lives are worth more than a 'normal persons, ' but they do have the power to make some people very happy, and while I wouldnt be one of those people and never really understood it, stuff like this opens my eyes. If even for a day one of these people can make Chris's life happier or better, I can understand it.

there was a boy in my fourth grade class with this condition, he would be 28 now. I remember an assignment we had where we had to write about our dreams. the teacher posted them in the hallway outside of our classroom and I read his: he dreamed of running. I always hoped he was okay, but I never heard from him again.

God has his reasons why he is still alive and his mom is so good to him and he has done a lot and will pray for him and it-s awesome the celebrities but God gets the glory Keep the Faith and put the trust in God and continue to enjoy life

I would absolutely LOVE to meet this remarkable young man. He's so awesome and hasn't let his disability affect his life and just live. And I have absolutely NO RIGHT TO COMPLAIN ABOUT MY LIFE EVER AGAIN. ---------------

The doctor telling them his life expectancy is short, isn-t doing so to make them upset lol. What is he supposed to do, lie? The fact that they feel the need to go rub it in the doctors face is cringe as hell.

OMG I knew I saw him before. He was at a Costco in my neighborhood once. Everyone was staring at him when he approached the line. A woman almost jumped back in shock. It was heartbreaking to see.

He is a legend and should inspire anyone, who doesnt see a point in life, just find the thing your heart longs for and just do it, because you only live once. Dont waste it on doupts and fear

To be honest, this dude deserves respect. I've literally seen able bodied people just waste away their potential and then comes this dude. Persevering just to spite death himself.

I could imagine this guy lived a life surrounded by people calling him an inspiration non-stop, meanwhile constantly adapting to a world that isn't built for him.

-Every single year after that we go to the same doctor and we rub it in his face that im still alive- that made me laugh out loud -. Dudes got a sense of humor.

My baby girl has type 1. She only lived 5 hours. I'm so happy to see him survive so long and he so successful with it.
