A Costa Rican man believed to be 119 years old could become the world’s oldest living man, pending verification of his birth date. Jose Flores’ identity card states that he was born on July 11, 1907. Flores spends his days napping, eating meals prepared by his granddaughter and sharing stories from his life. He has eight children, 23 grandchildren, 25 great-grandchildren and one great-great-granddaughter. Flores lives in Sardinal, one of Costa Rica’s regions associated with the world’s Blue Zones. Specialists, including Guinness World Records, are reviewing historical documents to verify his age. The current oldest living person is Britain’s Ethel Caterham, who turned 117 in August 2026. #news #world #old #man
