Celebrities world records
Celebrities are known to make their mark on the world through their art and influence, but some do so in more ways than one.
Continue to read about the celebrities that have made history with world records.
Al Pacino
Actor Al Pacino is officially one of the oldest fathers ever on record after the birth of his son last year.
The 84-year-old recently welcomed his youngest child, a son named Roman, now one year old, with his 30-year-old girlfriend Noor Alfallah.
He also has three adult children – Julie Marie with his ex-girlfriend, acting coach Jan Tarrant and twins Anton and Olivia with ex-girlfriend, actress Beverly D'Angelo.
Eminem
Eminem holds the Guinness world record for the most words in a hit song with his 2013 song Rap God.
In it, the now 52-year-old spoke 1,560 words in six minutes and four seconds, marking an average of 4.28 words per second.
In one 15-second-long segment, he spoke 97 words, meaning he spoke 6.46 words per second at what they describe as "supersonic speed".
Jackie Chan
Jackie Chan holds the record for most stunts by a living actor since 2012, a title he earned with his film CZ12.
The martial arts star has appeared in over 100 films over his 52-year-long career, having sustained a number of injuries over time, including a broken nose, broken cheekbones, and a broken skull.
He also holds the record for most credits by the same person in one movie, acting as the writer, director, lead role as Asian Hawk, producer, executive producer, cinematographer, art director, unit production manager, catering coordinator, stunt coordinator, gaffer, composer, theme tune vocalist, props and stuntman.
At the time the star released a statement on Chinese social media platform Weibo, writing to fans, "I was awarded two Guinness Book of World Records, one of which is 'Most Stunts Performed By A Living Actor.'
"I felt I particularly deserved it today. As I look back to the past, so many times to do my utmost, I think it was very worthwhile, because they are records of the past. I can be very proud with them for posterity, saying with the audience that 'This is Jackie Chan, Jackie Chan! This is forever!!'"
He also set the record for most selfies taken in three minutes at the premiere of his film San Andreas in London.
He managed to take 105, but was beaten by US man James Smith in 2018 who took 168.
Akshay Kumar
But the person who currently holds the title is Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar, who managed to take 184 selfies at the premiere of his 2023 film, Selfiee.
Betty White
Betty White continues to hold the record for the female entertainer with the longest TV career.
She began acting in 1939 and starred in shows such as The Golden Girls, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, and The Carol Burnett Show with a career spanning over 80 years.
She died in 2021 at 99 years old.
Sam Thompson
Made in Chelsea star and English television presenter Sam Thompson was determined that he would obtain the Guiness World Record for most conkers hit in one minute, one day after the 2024 World Conker Championship took place.
Conkers is a traditional children's game from the UK played using the seeds of horse chestnut trees tied onto string.
He was closely watched by his co-stars and the adjudicator as he managed 31 hits in one minute, claiming the record.
But this wasn't his first record, not even within the year...
Earlier in 2024 he resolved to help the citizens of Shoreham-By-Sea, the Sussex town that was previously voted the "most miserable place" in the UK, by holding a hug-fest on Blue Monday.
He broke the record for most hugs in a minute, giving out 88 hugs, making that an average of 1.46 hugs per second.
