Juan Vicente Pérez Mora, a Venezuelan farmer in the Guinness World Records as the oldest man in the world, is passionate about his faith and reveals that he prays the rosary twice a day. Born on 27 May 27, 1909, Mora turned 113 years old this year.
In an article published on May 17 on the Guinness World Records website, Mora said his secret to living a long life is to “work hard, rest on holidays, go to bed early, drink a glass of aguardiente (a strong liquor made from sugarcane) every day, love God, and always carry him in your heart.”
He shared his family and friends are his greatest life companions and that the greatest thing he has learned in life is “the love of God, the love of family, and that we must get up early to work.”
According to the Guinness World Records, Mora has officially confirmed the oldest living man in the world on 4 February 2022.
