World's Oldest Man Is 112-Year-Old Holocaust Survivor Israel Kristal

Talk about staying power.

Holocaust survivor Israel Kristal was confirmed by Guinness World Records on Friday as the planet's oldest living man, having graced the earth for 112 years and 178 days.

"I don't know the secret for long life," Kristal, who lives in Haifa, Israel, told Guinness. "I believe that everything is determined from above and we shall never know the reasons why. There have been smarter, stronger and better looking men than me who are no longer alive."

Born Sept. 15, 1903, in what was then Russian-occupied Poland, Kristal survived World War I despite being separated from his parents.
