John Alfred Tinniswood, who recently turned 111, has been confirmed as the world’s oldest man by Guinness World Records. He attributes his long life to luck, moderation, and a weekly fish and chip dinner. Tinniswood was presented with a certificate at the care home in Southport, where he resides. Born in 1912 in Liverpool, he served in World War II and worked as an accountant. He emphasized the importance of moderation in all things, including eating, drinking, and exercise. Tinniswood believes that luck plays a significant role in determining lifespan, stating that one cannot control whether they live long or short. The previous record-holder, Juan Vicente Pérez of Venezuela, passed away at 114, while the next oldest, Gisaburo Sonobe of Japan, died at 112 in March. The current title of the world’s oldest living person belongs to 117-year-old Maria Branyas Morera of Spain. Tinniswood’s simple approach to life and his belief in the importance of luck and moderation have helped him achieve a long and healthy life.
