Paul Oldfield, who is called Mr. Methane, discovered his unusual talent in his teens and began to earn money from it. He travels the world demonstrating his strange ability to fart. Now the Briton holds the record for the number of farts per minute. In addition, he performs popular songs with the help of farting and does other tricks.

A man discovered his superpower while doing yoga with his sister. Taking the lotus position, he realized that he could inhale and exhale not only through his nose, but also through the sphincter. Excited by the unexpected discovery, Paul released 20 high-speed farts in a minute in front of surprised comrades.

But farting Superman didn't immediately become Mr. Methane. At first, he studied to be a train conductor and entertained colleagues with his farting abilities. Then the Briton decided to try himself in the field of entertainment. In the late 80s, Paul began to open for a local music group, and later went to New York. There he appeared on stage on the air of a talent show. The audience was then very impressed by his parodies of famous songs that he performed, sounding melodies.

Mr. Methane participated in several talent shows in Europe. It has an amazing ability to draw air into the colon through the sphincter, and then release it in the same way. Moving his buttocks, the showman learned to adjust the tone of the sounds made, thus performing a musical repertoire.

In 2018, Paul contacted representatives of the Guinness Book of Records and asked them to register the number of farts he does in a minute. Mr. Methane tried to fart 50 times, but he got as much as 86! The Briton wanted to register a record back in 1990. But then the achievement was not accepted, because they considered this strange talent too unethical. Now the man wants to set a new record - to release 100 farts in a minute.
