The man who found worldwide fame as the 'Spanish Laughing Guy'  has died aged 65 after a 'long illness'. 

Juan Joya Borja shot to fame in 2007 when he appeared on a variety show and struggled to tell an anecdote because he was laughing so much. 

Nicknamed 'El Ristas' or 'The Giggles', Borja's interview with Jesus Quintero on Ratones Coloraos became an international sensation.
