WORLD’S DIRTIEST MAN?
According to a story that first appeared in The Tehran Times in January of 2014, an 80-year-old Iranian man has laid claim to being the dirtiest man alive. Amou Haji, who lives in the southern Iranian province of Fars, has not bathed in over 60 years, allegedly shattering the previous confirmed record of a 66-year-old Indian man (Kailash Singh) who had not bathed in 38 years. This new entrant to the “World’s Dirtiest Man” title reportedly believes that abstaining from bathing will ward off sickness.
BOTTOM LINE
In early 2014, a hermit in Iran named Amou Haji claimed to be the “World’s Dirtiest Man”. After an article about the man’s isolated lifestyle appeared in The Tehran Times, subsequent reports followed in other media outlets such as the Daily Mail and the Huffington Post. It was reported that Haji had not bathed in 60 years, yet there seems to be no way to adequately and accurately confirm such claims.
