|
Edward Nino Hernandez is going to hold this title only until Oct. 14, when the world's shortest living teen, Khagendra Thapa Magar of Nepal turns 18. Khagendra Thapa Magar (born October 14, 1992), son of Rup Bahadur and Dhana Maya Thapa Magar, is the shortest teenager in the world, measuring 0.56 m (1 ft 10 in). Magar is expected to take the title of shortest man from Edward Nino Hernandez when he turns 18 in October.
Magar is from the Baglung District of Nepal and is dubbed as a "little Buddha" by the villagers. Just 600 grams (21 oz) at birth, he weighs 5.5 kilograms (12 lb; 0.87 st).
In May 2008, Magar appeared in the British Channel 4 documentary called "The World's Smallest Man and Me" hosted by Mark Dolan.
