BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) Romanian actor Radu Beligan has been declared the world's oldest active actor at age 95.
After being presented with a certificate on Sunday confirming his entry in Guinness World Records, he called on theatergoers to stop applauding.
"I have no merits at all. I am the result of the love you've shown me for so many, many years," he said.
Actor Ion Caramitru, director of the National Theater, called him "the greatest actor Romanian theater school has given us."
Sunday was another day at work with Beligan making his 330th appearance as the lead in "Number One" by French playwright Jean Anouilh, playing aging playwright Leon Saint-Pe.
