Tie him down! Cut them off! Bring me the Duo Adhesive! 58-year-old Valery Smagliy from Kiev has the world’s bushiest eyelashes – and attributes them to a secret ingredient in his diet!

Valery said that he started eating something, and noticed that it made his eyelashes grow really long and thick. And when he realized that it made women jealous, he decided to keep the ingredient a secret in order to market it later.

“Women would stop me in the street and ask me what the secret was, they can see that they are real and not fake,” he said. “And whether it’s man or woman, most people don’t seem to pay much attention when I’m talking to them because they’re always looking at my eyelashes.”

Although he enjoys the attention his lashes bring, he thinks they’re getting too heavy, making his eyelids sore and affecting his vision. So he plans to trim them after he visits the local registry office of the Guinness Book of Records to have them officially measured. The official length will be revealed some time next week.
