## Caption

Many people slow down as they approach their 100th birthday. Pauline Kana went crowd surfing, wore a bikini T-shirt and attended the new “Spider-Man” movie premiere.

The brand-new centenarian, who turned 100 on Saturday, Aug. 1, is a social media star known as the “Gangster Granny.” She appears in funny and sometimes outrageous videos with her 33-year-old grandson, Ross Smith, often poking fun at aging and stereotypes of older adults.

The crowd surfing event, which took place at a Brantley Gilbert concert in Bellville, Texas, in May, earned her a Guinness World Record for the oldest person to ever do it. She crowd surfed on a stretcher, gripping it tightly as the crowd passed her overhead.
