World’s smallest man is ‘big in heart’

The world’s shortest living man who is able to walk has declared himself “big in heart” after regaining a Guinness World Record title. Edward Nino Hernandez, from Colombia, measures in at 72.1cm (2ft 4.4ins) and originally gained the title in 2010, before losing it six months later to a man who has now died. Following a Guinness World Records ceremony in Bogota, 34-year-old Hernandez said: “I always share my big smile with everyone, that’s my charm... I want people to meet who I truly am - small in size, big in heart!”
