“After turning 34 on 10 May, Edward can now begin his new year of age with a fantastic new record title; one that he achieved with a height of 72.10 cm tall.”
The world’s shortest man, Edward Nino Hernandez has reclaimed his Guinness World Record title – a decade after he was first awarded the crown.Guinness World Records announced on Tuesday that Hernandez had been awarded the title of the shortest living man who is mobile. The title was awarded to coincide with his 34th birthday celebrations.
Hernandez suffers from severe hypothyroidism, a condition which stunts the growth and means bone cartilage does not grow as it should do. Hernandez was astonishingly only diagnosed with severe hyperthyroidism in his early 20s, which his mother claims is because doctors lost interest in recording her son’s height throughout childhood.In 2010, however, he became an overnight superstar and bounced into the limelight when the Guinness World Records came knocking and made him the record-holder.
The record next went to Chandra Bahadur Dangi, who was a minuscule 54.6cm tall. Following Mr Dangi’s death in 2015 the title returned to Mr Magar. At the same time, officials decided to split the record into those who could walk unaided and those who needed assistance.
