An Angolan man has been recognised as having the world's widest mouth by the Guinness Book of World Records.
Francisco Domingo Joaquim, 20 - aka the Angolan Jaw of Awe - can fit a 330ml can of pop into his mouth - sideways.
He can stretch his mouth more than six-and-a-half inches wide, and recently put his skills to the test at the the Big Mouth competition in Rome.
Contestants crammed their mouths with a whole host of items including saucers, coffee cups and beer bottles but nobody could beat Francisco and his can of coke.
He shot to stardom performing his jaw-dropping talent on the streets of Luanda, capital of Angola.
Francisco, known as Chiquinho, and his unique talent was discovered by Guinness Book of World Record researchers scouring YouTube.
After two years of searching, they tracked him down to his hometown in Angola.
Since then Francisco has become an internet sensation with his videos racking up thousands of hits.
After finding out that he would feature in the Book of Guinness World Records 2011, Chiquinho said that it was "a dream come true".
