Nepalese boy loses bid for world record

The nepalese boy on the left, Khagendra Thapa Magar, was rejected by the Guinness World Records council in his bid to be recognized as the world's shortest man.
Guinness says that in order for him to qualify as the world's shortest man he must be over 18 years old.
Khagendra Thapa Magar is just 50cm tall and weighs in at only 4.5Kg! The boy is only 14 and has been making public appearances for money in an attempt to fund his education.
The current record is held by Jordanian man, Younis Edwan, who is 65cm tall.
