The world's smallest man Khagendra Thapa Magar has had a run in with police in Australia, who wanted to know why he was not travelling in a child's booster seat.
At just 67cm high and weighing 5kg, Khagendra is around the size of a six-month-old baby.
While on a trip to Oz to raise awareness about sex trafficking and get donations for his charity, cops pulled over the car he was travelling in for a random breath test.
Officers then questioned the driver as to why 19-year-old Khagendra was not sitting in a booster seat, only letting them continue on their journey after seeing his passport.
Khagendra, who is named in the Guinness Book of Records as the world's shortest man, suffers from a condition called primordial dwarfism. But despite the obvious challenges presented by being so small, the teenager says he doesn't wish he were taller.
'I am just happy being who I am. My family loves me just the way I am and this is more important than anything else. I see myself as a unique individual,' he told the news provider.
