‘My Friends Used to Laugh at Me:’ Man With Longest Nose in World Shares His Story

Most of us never think twice about our noses which come in many shapes and sizes. Some folks have broad noses, while others are very narrow. For the longest time, the ideal nose was tiny and slim, especially for women. However, conceptions of beauty are evolving, and more people are learning to embrace their natural features. And according to Mehmet Ozyurek, having a larger than average nose has certain advantages.

Mehmet should know, after all, he is the current Guinness World Records holder for having the “World’s Longest Nose.”

Mehmet’s nose is recorded in the record books as measuring 8.8 centimeters long or 3.4 inches from the bridge to tip!

During a video interview, Mermet shared how many of his friends used to get a rile out of him by making fun of his nose.

However, Mehmet says he has a superpower most folks don’t possess thanks to his extra-large schnoz — a keener sense of smell.

That’s right, Mehmet’s enhanced sense of smell is way more sensitive than found in your average person. He claims that he can always tell which meal had just been cooked by sniffing around whenever he enters his home. He also said that other folks had long noses in his family, such as his father.

You can watch Mehmet’s interview in the video below.
