The word “gurning” is simply the art of making funny faces, and there are even competitions for it. For the Guinness Book of World Records, gurning is specifically the act of pulling your lower lip up over your nostrils. You can’t breathe while gurning, so the record is for the longest one can hold a gurn. Carter recently held that face for 62 seconds in Milan, Italy, breaking the previous record set in 2012 at 53 seconds.
Jovante first realized he could contort his face when he was in the third grade. “I was eating lunch and my classmate told me that when I eat, my whole face disappears,” he recalled.
