Hampshire 112-year-old officially recognised as world's oldest man

A Hampshire resident has been officially recognised as the world’s oldest man by Guinness World Records.

A spokeswoman for Guinness World Records said that because of the Covid-19 outbreak, its officials were not able to reach Weighton, who lives in a flat in Alton, to hand over the certificate in person.

Guinness World Records said its senior gerontology consultant, Robert Young, had been scrutinising all available evidence since the previous title holder, Chitetsu Watanabe, a farmer from Japan, died on 23 February at 112 years and 355 days.

Weighton lived through the 1918-20 Spanish flu pandemic and has had serious medical operations but, like most, he has never endured self-isolation. “It is bizarre. I’ve never experienced anything like coronavirus before,” he said.

A great example that the human ears never stop growing during our entire life

He doesn't look that old though, good for him.

They do stop growing but are affected by gravity and drop a bit and give the illusion they grew but that's not actually true. He has probably always had big ears, his entire life.
