Mike Jack holds 19 Guinness World Records for devouring spicy foods and sauces, including one with his wife.
Earlier this year, Jack ate a habanero pepper, and then the couple held a kiss for 15 minutes and 6.5 seconds, according to the Guinness World Records.
He says they have had the chance to travel the world together.
“When I first started out, I never thought it would get this crazy being a world traveller just for eating spicy stuff,” says Jack.

Jack built up a YouTube channel on eating some of the spiciest foods on earth, like Carolina Reapers.
And they have visited Bulgaria, Prague, the Czech Republic, New Zealand, and did a documentary in Mexico last year.
And now some people recognize him on the street from the record book and multiple TV appearances.
He’s appeared in:
- “Superhot: The Spicy World of Pepper People” on Hulu/Disney+
- “We are the Champions” on Netflix
- “Lo Show dei Record,” which is the Guinness World Record show in Italy
- “Al Chile” on Vix
- and his very own show “Jack up the Heat” on Rogers TV London.
He says he is basically one of the X-Men.
“I was born with a superpower, and that superpower is, I’ve actually never experienced a burned butt before. I’ve never had it. I’ve heard that can be a genetic mutation.”
