Edward Nino Hernandez is 72.10cm tall. He first got the title of the world’s shortest living man in April 2010 when he measured 70.21cm at the age of 23. However, six months later the title passed to Khagendra Thapa Magar, who was 67.08cm when he turned 18. The title later passed to Chandra Bahadur Dangi, who was 54.6cm. After Mr Dangi’s death in September 2015, the title was changed into two categories, mobile and non-mobile, based on whether the record holder is able to walk on his or her own.
Following Mr Magar’s death in January this year, Mr Hernandez got the title again as the world’s shortest living mobile man. He was presented with the new title at a medical clinic in Bogota, Colombia. He was given the title by Natalia Ramirez, Guinness World Records Latin America adjudicator(认证官), with his family and doctor. Mr Hernandez was only found with a kind of disease in his early 20s, which made him grow shorter than others.
After receiving his new title, the 34-year-old man said, “I use my smile to conquer the world! I always share my big smile with everyone. That’s my charm. Everything is possible. Size and height don’t matter. I want people to meet who I truly am, small in size, big in heart!”
