The Man with Longest Nose in History l Social media has once again become the hub of peculiar content, as netizens were astonished to learn about Thomas Wedders, the man with the longest nose in the world. Even after almost 300 years of his death, his story has garnered immense attention on social media platforms. On November 12, a Twitter account named Historic Vids shared a picture of Wedders' wax figure at Ripley's Believe It Or Not Museum, which gained 120,000 likes and 7,200 retweets.
According to Guinness World Records (GWR), Wedders' nose was 7.5 inches (19 centimeters) long, making him the person with the longest nose in history. Interestingly, his record remains unbeaten even after 300 years. However, the title for the person with the longest nose among living men now belongs to Mehmet Ozyurek from Turkey, with a nose measuring 3.46 inches or 8.78 centimeters, confirmed by GWR last November.
Wedders' life history is shrouded in mystery, with only limited information available. It is believed that he was a circus performer who lived in England during the 18th century around 1770. He was famous for having the longest nose in history, but details about his personal life remain unknown. It is assumed that he died in Yorkshire at an early age of 50
