A teen from Nepal has reached new heights - as the world's shortest man. Khagendra Thapa Magar, who turned 18 on Oct. 15, has finally been granted that coveted title by Guinness World Records.
'I can confirm that as of today Khagendra Thapa Magar is officially the shortest man in the world,' Guinness official Marco Frigatti said.

Family members have for years insisted that the pint-sized Magar, who measures just 26.4 inches from head to foot, is the world's smallest man. However, Guinness would not accept it until he was 18 and showed he had ceased growing. Magar, who doctors say has the body of a 3-year-old, weighs just over 12 pounds.
'I am very happy and excited,' Magar said.
'We are very proud of our son,' said Magar's father, Rup Bahadur Thapa. 'We have been finally recognized and our dreams have finally come true.'

As for her favorite design, Gnuse tells the Huffington Post, 'My most favorite is Lucille Ball, Desi Arnaz and I have the full chocolate scenes on my back, on the lower part of my back.'
