The report says he loves to dance reggaeton, dreams of owning a car - preferably a Mercedes -- and wants to see the world.

 

What sets Nino apart is his size. He is slightly taller than a piece of carry-on luggage and weighs just 22 pounds (10 kilograms), it says.

AP also reported that Nino has just been officially certified as the world's shortest living man by Guinness World Records, measuring 27 inches (70 centimeters).  “He hasn't grown since he was 2 years old,”his mother, Noemi Hernandez, said of the oldest of her five living children.
