NEW DELHI: English centenarian John Alfred Tinniswood crowned world's oldest man at 111 John Alfred Tinniswood, a 111-year-old Englishman from Southport, northwest England, has officially been named the world's oldest living man by Guinness World Records. This recognition comes after the passing of the previous record holder, Juan Vicente Pérez of Venezuela, at the age of 114, and Gisaburo Sonobe from Japan, who died on March 31 at 112.
Tinniswood attributes his remarkable longevity to a combination of luck, moderation, and a weekly indulgence in fish and chips.Born on August 26, 1912, in Liverpool, shortly after the Titanic tragedy, Tinniswood has witnessed over a century of history, including two World Wars, serving in the British Army Pay Corps during World War II.
The retired accountant and great-grandfather emphasizes a life of moderation as the key to health. "If you drink too much or you eat too much or you walk too much — if you do too much of anything — you’re going to suffer eventually," Tinniswood shared with Guinness World Records. Despite his disciplined lifestyle, he believes longevity ultimately boils down to chance: "It’s pure luck. You either live long or you live short, and you can’t do much about it."
Currently residing in a care home in Southport, Tinniswood enjoys a quiet life filled with reading newspapers, listening to the radio, and supporting Liverpool football club. His long-standing support has seen him celebrate all nineteen of Liverpool's league title wins and eight FA Cup victories. Care home manager Katie Howard describes Tinniswood as "an amazing individual with so many stories to tell."
World's oldest woman and living person
The title of the world's oldest woman and the oldest living person is held by 117-year-old Maria Branyas Morera of Spain. Tinniswood's recognition not only celebrates his individual milestone but also highlights the incredible stories and experiences of those who have lived through more than a century of global events.
