Guiness World Records

The Shortest Man In The World:

Chandra Bhadur Dangi said he was 56 centimeters tall, but an examination of the Guinness Book of Records found him “only” 54.6 centimeters tall. The new world breaker, 72 years old, said he did not intend to marry and asked to meet with the Nepali prime minister.

 Dangi was born in 1939. It is not known what the medical condition was that limited its growth. He lives in a remote village called Rimkului, which is about 400 kilometers from Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal.
