World's oldest man says secret to longevity is 'pure luck'

John Alfred Tinniswood — born in Liverpool, England in 1912 — turned 111 years and 224 days-old on April 6, 2024.

Guinness World Records has verified the oldest living man in the world is now 111-year-old John Alfred Tinniswood of England. 

Tinniswood was born in Liverpool the year the infamous "Titanic" ship sank in 1912. 

Born on August 26 of that year he turned exactly 111 years and 224 days on April 6 this year. 

A Guinness World Records official traveled to the town of Southport where Tinniswood lives to present him with a certificate and ask him more about his storied life. 

Tinniswood says he is still able to perform most of his daily tasks on his own and can get out of bed without assistance.
