Meet Romeo

Aditya "Romeo" Dev is the worlds smallest bodybuilder. He stands 2'9", has blonde hair, and his friends knees are slowly being swallowed by its thighs.



From telegraph.co.uk:

Using custom-built 1.5kg dumbbells, Romeo, 19, pumps iron daily to prove that small is beautiful. While most dwarfs have large heads compared to their bodies, Romeo is perfectly proportioned, and despite his diminutive stature has triceps, biceps, calves and thighs that would make many a full-grown man blush.

Large crowds regularly flock to watch him at his gym in Punjab, where as well as weight-training and push-ups Romeo is training to be a dancer. "I've been training as a bodybuilder for the last two years and by now I think I must be the strongest dwarf in the world," said Romeo.

Romeo is famous in his home country, and his father has spoken of his pride in his son's determination to overcome any difficulties in his path. "He has never been bothered at being so small. He has no inferiority complex. He is the jewel of our family."
