Little Khagendra Thapa Magar is the world’s smallest man – in waiting.

He can’t wait until his 18th birthday in October when he can officially claim the title.

He and his family are so excited they are already in contact with Guinness to take the official crown from 2ft 5in He Ping Ping of China.

Magar, 17, stands just two feet tall and weighs only 10lbs.
