An internet star has set a strange new Guinness World Record for stretching and holding her lower lip over her nose — called “fuzzy” — longer than anyone else.
Jovante Carter, better known by his online nickname “HolyGxd,” held his lips above his nostrils for a record-breaking 1 minute and 2 seconds in Milan, Italy, on the set of “Lo Show dei Record,” Guinness announced Wednesday.
He broke the previous record of 53 seconds set by China’s Shuquan Tang on the same televised show in 2012.
“We’re here, we’re doing our thing,” he told the crowd as he stepped off the stage after receiving his Guinness World Record certificate, which he now boasts on his social media profile.
The 22-year-old New Orleans native has gained more than 16.9 million followers on TikTok and another 1.5 million on Instagram over the years by making ridiculous faces.
Carter set a new record for “going on a rampage” on Italian television, according to Guinness World Records.

“When doing this trick with your face, you can’t breathe,” explained Official Referee Marco Frigatti. “Effectively you have to hold your breath, and also all the muscles involved become very tired.”
Carter said he discovered his unique talent in the third grade.
“I was eating lunch and my classmate told me that when I ate, my whole face disappeared,” she told Guinness. “He asked me to chew without food, and I chewed, and I did this thing with my face. Everyone laughed obviously, and my teacher went crazy.”
Although she now has millions of followers online who enjoy her videos, she says she was bullied growing up because of her tricks and skinny looks.
“I decided to change my outlook, show the positive to everyone, and take back control of my uniqueness that was so played with,” she said.
“Basically all I do is try and make people more comfortable with the things that make them different.”
