DONG HOA (Reuters): While coronavirus lockdowns caused many men across the world to grow their hair longer than usual, none compare with Vietnam's Nguyen Van Chien who has gone almost 80 years without a trim.

The 92-year-old from the southern Mekong Delta region is the proud owner of 5m-long dreadlocks, owing to his belief in a faith that prescribes leaving untouched what a person is born with.
