At 24 years old, Edward Hernandez was just 27 inches high. In 2010 his life changed drastically when he was officially declared the smallest man in the world. The media excitement was immediate; people greeted him everywhere and showed him affection. They wanted to pick him up, touch him, and take pictures with him.
He was invited to the presidential palace and became a hit on the Latin American TV shows circuit. But after a few weeks of being awarded, he got bad news. In Nepal, the smallest teenager in the world is about to turn 18 years old and Edward’s title is in danger.
