This is not a tall tale: a 72-year-old Nepalese man has just been confirmed as the world's shortest man.
Chandra Bahadur Dangi stands at just 54.6cm (21.5 inches) tall - dimensions carefully measured by officials.
His height is 5.3cm shorter than Filipino Junrey Balawing, the previous holder of the "world's shortest man" title.
He is also more than 2cm shorter than India's Gul Mohammed - meaning that Dangi is the shortest human adult ever documented.

That's amazing. He's two and a half inches shorter than I was when I was born!
