It's mind blowing to think this guy was 50 in 1963... This man was almost a senior when the Beatles first became popular.

[_Under.the.Radar_]

Imagine retiring at 60 y/o and live +50 years after that.

He's got a nice personality. Maybe that has something to do with it.

My great great grandmother was born in 1911 and passed away at 111 almost 112, at the end of 2022, outlived 4 monarchs, World War I and World War II, she outlived her 2 daughters, both died of old age in 2019 at 92 and the other at 89, her third daughter passed away this year at 93, lived to see 10 Popes in her lifetime, lived to see 20 US presidents, born when Taft was in office, she had 4 siblings, all her siblings lived to their late 80's and early 90's, her last sibling passed away in 2012 at 96 and her husband(my great great grandpa) died in 2001 at 93. She has been through so much. May they rest in peace. 🕊️

He could hold two records: oldest man alive & youngest Southport resident

"If you do to much of anything you're going to suffer eventually" Words i really didn't know I needed right now... Thank you

It’s crazy to think that he has a memory from 106 years ago. Most people don’t even remember anything from 106 hours ago.

Wow
This mean lived 111 years. Insane.
He is so kind and lovely

[goofusmaximus]

Oldest living man was born just 28 days after the start of the Taisho Era.

[luxxulyanite]

If he lives another 2 years, he will be a teenager again at 113 🤔🤔🤔🤔

Rest in Peace to the previous titleholder Juan Vicente Perez. John looks very well for his age and him gaining the title is amazing to see. What an extraordinary man!

[edwardjcurtis]

Incredible video, always find these videos moving. Congratulations John!

The oldest living person is a Spanish lady called Maria Branyas, she’s 117 and was born in 1907!!

There’s still over 50 verified people born between 1907 and 1912, older than our man here, but they’re all women, he’s the only man!

*This dude has been retired longer than I've been alive, and I'm almost 48 years old.*

[AutismIsAweapon]

Imagine turning 80 and thinking you don't have much longer but you end up living for another 30 years

[moonamoonz]

Finally someone who is honest with their answer on why they live so many years, it's all "luck" there is no other explanation. Asking other old people tell will say "oh i smile a lot" or "oh i eat too much beans" things that doesn't explain at all living so many years.

[AngelTheOfficial]

As a brit myself, I am pleased for this man

[solless]

It’s very impressive how articulate and aware he is at that age. Wishing him more years to come!

[NicubinnugyentaiGerz-gziu]

Congrats to John Tinniswood I hope that John Tinniswood lives longer years and turns 112 this year, 113 in 2025 and 114 in 2026. He look great
Great video

[SOLIDToM]

He's just the age Bilbo Baggins was when he left the Shire for Rivendell.
