Hermit Amou Haji has not washed in 60 years and smokes a pipe packed with dried animal dung.
The 80-year-old man, who has been dubbed as the world's most ineligible bachelor, had moved to the wilderness near the village of Dejgah in the Iranian desert after an unsuccessful attempt at wooing a woman he wanted to marry, the Mirror reported.
According to the Tehran Times, he burns his hair off with a stick from his fire and uses an old car wing-mirror to groom himself.
Haji, who believes that being clean would make him sick, sleeps in a grave-like hole in the ground and drinks rainfall from a rusty oil can.
