Pint-sized Khagendra Thapa Magar is within reach of becoming the world’s shortest man.

Pint-sized Khagendra Thapa Magar is within reach of becoming the world’s shortest man.

The 17-year-old is hoping to avoid a sudden growth spurt to muscle in on a world record.

Khagendra is two weeks away from his 18th birthday and, if he sticks at his present 22in (56cm), will become the smallest adult male.

Today he was in London, being held by Tiny Iron, 28, from London, who has the UK’s largest biceps, at 24in (61cm).

They were posing at the 'Ripley’s Believe It Or Not!' museum in London’s Piccadilly, to promote the new book 'Ripley’s Enter If You Dare'.
