Khagendra Thapa Magar from Nepal is about to be crowned the World's smallest man, and he stands just 2ft tall, which is just slightly higher than a two-litre coke bottle.

Khagendra is just 17-years-old, but his family have been in contact with the Guinness World Record Books to take the title away from China's He Ping Ping, who is 2ft, 5 inches tall, but Khagendra can't take the title until he turns 18 and is considered a man, which won't be until October.

He is called the 'little Buddha' by the rest of the villagers. He currently has a job at the Baglung District of Nepal Arts and Recreation Centre.
