"Aw, what a cute toddler," you may think, but you'd be wrong. That's Junrey Balawing, who is going to be crowned the unenviable title of World's Smallest Man when he turns 18 this June:
MEET Junrey Balawing, the Filipino who is about to become the world's smallest man - and a huge star.
At just 22 INCHES high, the 17-year-old is tinier than a one-year-old.When he turns 18 on June 12, he will take the title - smashing five inches off the current record.
The titchy teen has not grown since his first birthday, struggles to walk and cannot stand up for long.
But he beams with pride when talking about his likely world record.
He said: "If I were the smallest man in the world, it would be very cool."

So pointing out a freak of nature is ok as long as there's an award tied to it?

If I could have a unique identity, that would be cool. I like unique identifiers. Nom Nom Nom
