'Focus' Press Conference

WEDNESDAY 18 MARCH 2015, LONDON – The world’s most famous bubbleologist today entered the record books for an incredible tenth time as he pulled off his most spectacular world record yet.

Inspired by DreamWorks’ bubble-powered new animation 'Home', Samsam Bubbleman stunned witnesses at Jubilee Gardens beneath the London Eye as he produced the World’s Largest Free-Floating Bubble measuring a staggering 23.3 cubic metres, the size of two family cars or 150,000 tennis balls.

This milestone Guinness World Record™ was staged to celebrate the theatrical release of 'Home', out this Friday. The film, which features an all-star voice-cast including Jim Parsons, Rihanna, Steve Martin and Jennifer Lopez, brings to life the loveable Boov, whose technology is based entirely on bubbles, with everything in their fantastical world being spherical.

The record-breaking bubble, which was verified by Guinness following complex 3D measurements and chartered surveyor calculations, beat the previous record set in Massachusetts in 2013 by over 2.5m³.

“I am thrilled to be honored with my tenth Guinness World Record™,” says Samsam Bubbleman, from Seven Sisters, London. “It has been my most challenging record yet with a number of crucial elements coming together – the equipment, my top secret bubble solution, weather conditions and most importantly what I call my ‘inner bubble’.  I needed to approach a near meditative state to create this bubble – closing my eyes, deep breaths and incredible concentration and patience.”

He adds, “I have been inspired by the film 'Home' not just because of its hugely inventive use of bubbles, which are present in almost every scene, but also its incredibly vibrant use of colour. I’ve always described what I do as bringing colour to the wind. You can’t blow an ugly bubble and although I often get caught up in the joy of the moment of creation just to stop and watch the incredible colours moving around on the surface of that floating weightless sphere creates such wonderment.”

Samsam, who performed at the 2012 Olympic Opening Ceremony and has ‘bubbled’ for the likes of Shakira, The British Royal Family, and JK Rowling, has practiced the art of bubble making for 25 years and his other Guinness World Records™ have included Most People Inside a Bubble, Most Bubbles Inside a Bubble, Longest Bubble Chain and Largest Frozen Bubble.

For his tenth World Record he was accompanied by the character Oh from 'Home', as well as children from Sylvia Young Agency who helped with the measurements.

'HOME' will be released in cinemas across the UK on Friday 20th March 2015.
