UK's Smallest Bodybuilder Enters Entertainment Industry And He's Awesome

UK's Smallest Bodybuilder Enters Entertainment Industry And He's Awesome

What a guy!

You may remember Choon Tan - the UK's smallest bodybuilder who stands at just 4ft 10in.

Born with a genetic birth defect known as x-linked spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia tarda - a condition that occurs mainly in males and impairs bone growth - he found growing up to be hard because he felt different from other children.

But since becoming a bodybuilder, he's been laughing in the faces of those who tormented him during his school years.

Now, however, he's taking things a little less seriously - and actually offering people some entertainment.

While he's already had a quick stint on ITV's Judge Rinder, which saw him show up his friend for stealing his protein pancake mix (FYI, Choon won the case and got the 80 quid back), he's decided to take his career to the next level.

No, he hasn't decided to become a comedian - instead, he's hiring himself out for stag and hen nights and birthday parties - where he'll offer saucy strip tease surprises and might even handcuff you to himself if you're lucky/unlucky, depending on your persuasion.

Oh, and sometimes he does it in an Oompa Loompa suit because Oompa Loompa's are always amazing.

Choon, who currently weighs 45kg, told TheLADbible: "I'd heard of a lot of people that have hired themselves out and the job is paid surprisingly well - so I thought I would give it a try.

"I'd be doing a strip tease or getting handcuffed to a stag/hen/birthday guest as a surprise."

He continued: "People seem to love it when I get dressed up!"

Choon, who's pretty new to the stripping scene, has already had one night's entertainment that he'll never forget, which saw him being handcuffed to someone while they were on the loo - keeping it classy, of course.

But considering he gets paid £100 for doing it, it doesn't sound too bad at all - is there a market for a dad-bod stripper because if so, where do we sign up?!

Of course, what with Choon wanting to keep it somewhat professional, he's still keen on keeping fit and inspiring others with his amazing story. So, when he's not handcuffed to some drunk wife-to-be, he's going to be focusing on a YouTube channel, which according to Choon will be all about his 'aspects of self-development, how to maintain fitness in your life, how to give your life more excitement and the crazy shit that can inspire and entertain people.'

He's also focusing on competitions such as 'Mr Newcastle' and and the IBFA finals.

Yeah, he can do all that and here I am still wondering how much a gym membership is. Not that I'll go or anything, but, y'know.
