Briton John Alfred Tinniswood, aged 111 years and 224 days, has officially won the title of the oldest living man in the world.

The Guinness Book of World Records announced this on Friday, two days after announcing the death of former title holder Juan Vicente Perez at the age of 114.

"You either live long or you live short, and there's not much you can do about it," Tinniswood said in an interview with Guinness, after handing over his certificate.

Tinniswood, who does not smoke, rarely drinks alcohol and eats fried fish and French fries every Friday, revealed that the secret to longevity is “just luck,” and also advised moderation in life: “If you drink too much or eat too much or walk "Too much. If you do too much of anything, you'll eventually suffer."

John Alfred Tinniswood was born in the English city of Liverpool on August 26, 1912, and lived through two world wars, in addition to the great influenza epidemic and the Covid-19 epidemic, and also holds the record for the world’s oldest living veteran from World War II, according to Guinness.

It is noteworthy that Tinniswood was born in the same year that the Titanic sank.

The English centenarian is considered a huge fan of Liverpool Football Club, as he has supported it throughout his life, and has lived through all of his club’s nineteen league title victories and all of its eight victories in the FA Cup.
