Guinness World Records: Shortest Man Is Just 21.5 Inches 'tall' by mrkels(m): 11:18am On Mar 04, 2012 |

Guinness World Records has confirmed that Chandra Bahadur Dangi stands at just 21.5 inches (54.6 centimeters) tall, giving him the title in a ceremony over the weekend. "I am very happy. Now I want to travel across Nepal and to foreign countries," Dangi told reporters afterward, according to the Associated Press. Dangi is a full two inches shorter than Junrey Balawing, the 18-year-old Filipino who at 23.6 inches tall was named world's shortest man last year. And Balawing is nearly three inches shorter than the previous record holder, 26.4-inch-tall Khagendra Thapa Magar of Nepal. Meet Dangi and some of the other former record holders in my new photo feature, World's Shortest Men. Source |
