Mehmet Özyürek

Mehmet Özyürek is a Turkish Guinness World Record holder. He has been confirmed as having the world's longest recorded nose.[1] His nose measured 8.8 cm (3.55 inches) when it was last measured on 18 March 2010. It was remeasured in both 2020 and 2021 disproving the myth that a person’s nose and ears continue to grow as you get older.[2] He lives in Artvin, Turkey. Mehmet was bullied by his friends for his nose when younger, but later in life he came to the belief it was a blessing from God.[3] He also claims to have a better sense of smell than the average person and is able to inflate a balloon with his nose.
