Chandra Bahadur Dangi (R), the 72-year-old Nepali crowned the “world’s shortest man” by Guinness World Records, is carried by his nephew Dolakh Dangi (L), following a press conference at Circular Quay on Sydney Harbour on May 14, 2012 at the start of a week of promotional engagements. Dangi, from a remote valley in southwestern Nepal, stands just 54.6 centimetres (21.5 inches) tall.
