Nun Lusil Randon

After the death of Kane Tanaka at the age of 119, the title of the oldest man in the world is held by a French nun.

The 118-year-old is named Lusil Randon and was born on February 11, 1904. Sister Andre has devoted most of her life to religious service.

Before becoming a Catholic nun, she cared for children during World War II and then spent 28 years caring for orphans and the elderly in a hospital.

Sister Andre, who lives near the French city of Toulon, is also the world's oldest survivor of COVID-19. The Guinness Book of World Records said she became infected in early 2021 but fully recovered within three weeks, just in time for her 117th birthday.

"I think I would be better off in heaven, but good God does not love me yet," she said in an interview with French television channel RMC Story on Tuesday.

Sister André enjoys chocolate and drinks a glass of wine every day, her nursing home, Résidence Catherine Labouré, told CNN.

When she turned 118 earlier this year, the elderly nun received a handwritten birthday note from French President Emmanuel Macron.

The title of oldest person ever registered also belongs to a French woman. Born on February 21, 1875, the life of Jeanne Luiz Kalment lasted 122 years and 164 days, according to the Guinness Book of World Records.
