John Tinniswood, a 111-year-old man from Southport, is the world’s current oldest living man. He credits his extraordinary longevity to pure luck rather than any specific lifestyle choices or diet. Despite not following a special diet, he enjoys battered fish and chips every Friday.
Mr. Tinniswood is described as a “big chatterbox” by the staff of the care home where he resides. He meets his daily news requirements by listening to the radio and manages his own finances. Born in Liverpool in 1912, he met his wife at a local dance and they were married during World War II.
Despite previously holding the Guinness World Records title of the oldest living man for several years, Mr. Tinniswood remains humble about his achievement. He believes that it does not make a difference to him personally and hopes that the world is always changing for the better. With him holding this title are Maria Branyas Morera from Spain who is currently 117 years old and Jiroemon Kimura of Japan who lived to be 116 years and 54 days old while Jeanne Calment from France holds the record for the oldest person ever having lived to be 122 years and 164 days old.
