Hasbulla's condition explained as people are still confused how old he is
Hasbulla Magomedov has recently embarked on a tour of Australia, where he claimed to be ‘too young’ to date or think about marriage.
The social media sensation made a pit stop at The Kyle and Jackie O Show to answer some burning questions, including about his love life.
Host Kyle Sandilands asked Hasbulla: "You're a very popular young man. Do you want to get married one day? What sort of woman maybe will you marry in the future?"
The 3’3” TikTok star communicated with the presenters through his translator to state that he’s not currently interested in the dating game.

After Hasbulla responded, his translator replied, saying: “I will think about it later. I am too young.”
His response, however, has prompted people to wonder about his condition due to confusion about his age.
Although Hasbulla is actually 19 years old - which would appear to be a perfectly normal age for most people to date - it is believed that Hasbulla has a form of dwarfism, and seems to look younger than he actually is.
Although he has not been formally confirmed to have the condition, the genetic disorder seems to give the Dagestan native childlike characteristics such as stunted growth, low weight and a high-pitched voice.
Dwarfism affects growth and can cause other physical problems, like bowed legs or an unusually curved spine. This can be caused by the body not producing enough of the growth hormone, although genes can also play a part in it, according to the NHS.
As for Hasbulla’s personal preferences, whilst on his speaking tour, women who come and watch the show are not allowed to have their picture taken with Hasbulla because of his religious and cultural beliefs.
The celebrity wrote a disclaimer on the flyer for his tour which read: “To our female guests, if you would like to attend [the tour's official] meet and greet with Hasbulla, you are welcome to do so, but please acknowledge the limitations of photography.
“We understand the disappointment this creates.
“However, we respectfully acknowledge the cultural and personal beliefs of Hasbulla and have to accommodate his requests accordingly.”
The tour – organised by The Hour Group – has already seen Hasbulla speaking in Sydney on 29 and 30 August, before moving onto Melbourne yesterday.
