World’s Fattest Man "Paul Mason" : Photos & Videos


The world's fattest man has told how the break up of a relationship with an older woman spurred him to binge eat his way to 70 stone. But it is the British taxpayer who should be the one feeling heartbroken.Paul Mason is one of the world’s fattest men. Estimated to be around 70 stone, the 49-year-old’s addiction to food has changed his life forever.





He’s been bed bound for the best part of a decade, disowned by his family, and turned down for an operation to staple his stomach."I manipulated my carers to cook me more food all of the time."At the peak of his gorging, Paul got through a staggering 20,000 calories a day - nearly ten times the healthy intake for a man.Breakfast would comprise a whole packet of bacon, four sausages and four eggs, plus bread and hash browns.

A source said: "He's been telling people in the hospital how he's writing this book and it will reveal how he's managed to lose so much weight. He's been in good spirits."Paul started writing as he recovered from the £20,000 NHS op at St Richard's Hospital in Chichester, West Sussex, where he stayed for three weeks.He used to gorge on 20,000 calories a day - EIGHT times what the average man eats.



He got so big that firemen once had to knock down a wall so he could be taken to hospital.Despite his weight loss he is still thought to be the world's heaviest man.Previous record holder Manuel Uribe, 43, of Mexico, shed more than half of his 90st bulk to get married.
