Shortest Man in the World

Shortest Man in the World, Nepal’s Chandra Bahadur Dangi looks at a copy of the Guinness World Record book at a guesthouse just hours before he was to be measured by Guinness officials, in Katmandu, Nepal, Feb. 26, 2012.


The 72-year-old man was measured at just 21.5 inches tall and has been declared the shortest person in the world, snatching the title from Junrey Balawing of the Philippines who is 23.5 inches tall.
