According to UPI, he washes his locks every 2 weeks and it can take 2-3 days to fully dry! That can't smell good! Does he have plans to get rid of it now that he's claimed the record? Nope.

He tells UPI, "Just as a tree has roots, branches, leaves, and some fruit, I have as a symbol my hair, its roots, length, and strength."

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.
