Francisco Domingo Joaquim from Angola became famous throughout the world, but the moment of recognition was short-lived.
The man got into the Guinness Book of Records as the owner of the largest mouth in the world. Perhaps, only the mouth of an alligator or another predator can be wider.
An African man got into the Guinness Book of Records because his mouth could open to an incredible size.
Francisco's exploits became known thanks to a viral video on the internet, in which he stretched his mouth as if it were rubber.
Not everyone believed in such abilities and accused the guy of using special effects.
To answer his detractors, Francisco went to the Italian Big Mouth competition.
There, everyone could see for themselves the possibilities.
The man allowed all sorts of things to be put into his mouth, saucers, cups, even a soda can easily fit between the African's jaws.
Naturally, the winner of the competition was Francisco Domingo, whose name was soon included in the pages of the Guinness Book of Records.
When measurements were taken, it was found that the man's mouth was 17 centimeters long.
The record holder did not do any special exercises or surgeries for this and demonstrated his abilities without any special efforts. Doctors explained everything by dysplasia.
However, the African was never able to radically change his life thanks to his unique ability.
