Everyone is unique in their own way. Some of us love to melt a little bit of chocolate in a hot cup of tea. Others need to finish eating their steak first and only then they can move on to their side dish. But while some people carry their distinctiveness on the inside, others have it on the outside. Don’t believe us? Check out the folks on this list. They have extraordinarily flexible bodies, big arms, large muscular upper bodies and even skulls that can bend steel. These people may look like they came out of some kind of fantasy novel or a Marvel film franchise, but they’re real. So, prepare to meet that most unusual and coolest people on the planet.
#1. If you thought The Hulk was big, then you obviously never met Sajad Gharibi from Iran.
Sajad is like a real-life Incredible Hulk, but he didn’t get this way from exposure to gamma radiation. This is just how he happens to be. But stay on his good side because you wouldn’t like him when he’s angry.
#2. If Jeff Dabe from Minnesota ever challenges you to an arm-wrestling contest, turn him down immediately.
You’ll be glad you did, and your arm will thank you for it. Jeff’s forearms are 19 inches (48 cm) long. So, if you happen to compete with this arm wrestler, then brace yourself because you will most likely lose.
#3. You’ve heard of people having long hair, but You Jianxia broke the world record for longest eyelashes.
Her lashes are approximately 4.8 inches (12 cm) long and they are continuing to grow. They grow on her upper lids and were measured back in 2016. And to this day, no one has managed to beat her record.

#4. You will never complain about your nose being too big after you look at Mehmet Özyürek.
His nose measures 3.55 inches (8.8 cm) which is by far the longest nose recorded in the world to date. It was last measured in 2010. But given that the nose contains cartilage, it may continue to grow longer.
#5. He may not be the Man of Steel, but he can certainly bend steel using his powerful skull.
It turns out that John Ferraro’s skull is very strong. He’s earned the nickname Hammer Head because he can break concrete and even bend metal with his head. Now that’s what we call being hard-headed.
#6. Jeison Orlando Rodriguez Hernandez is pretty tall, but his feet have helped him break a world record.
His feet are about 1’3.9 inches (40.5 cm). They’re so big that the man from Maracay, Venezuela, needed to get a new pair of custom-fitted shoes all the way from Germany since his US shoe size is about 26.
#7. According to Guinness World Records, Jyoti Amge is currently the world’s smallest living woman.
Good things do come in small packages. Despite being 2.07 feet (63 cm) tall and weighing approximately 11 lbs (5kg), Jyoti has a pretty huge personality, which has allowed her to make a living as an actress in India.
#8. You’d need to sit on another person’s shoulder to see eye to eye with Turkish man, Sultan Kösen.
Sultan Kösen is one of the tallest men in history and has a tough time finding clothes that suit him. But that’s not surprising. At 8 ft, 2.82 inches (251 centimeters) tall, this guy has some long arms and legs.
#9. Some people break the world record for big feet, but Maxwell Day broke it for most flexible feet.
There are certain folks who are so flexible, they have the ability to contort different parts of their bodies without breaking anything. Just ask Maxwell, who can turn his right foot 157° and his left foot 143°.
#10. The longest fingernails don’t belong to Edward Scissorhands, but rather Lee Redmond from the US.
A car accident in 2009, dethroned her as the grandma with the longest fingernails. But before that, she broke a world record for spending 30 years growing her fingernails to about 2’11 inches (90 cm) long.
#11. Chul Soon Hwang is a Korean star who as you can see really takes his workouts very seriously.
He does over 3,000 crunches every day and his overall training sessions last over 2 hours. But it’s hard to argue with the results. He looks like the Korean version of Hercules in this classy side chest pose.
#12. If you’re not a fan of tattoos, then you probably won’t be on Charlotte Guttenberg’s contact list.
The Florida resident made it into the Guinness Worlds Records in 2015 for the most tattooed senior citizen in the women’s category and it was hard to argue with that since 91.5% of her body was inked.
#13. Xie Qiuping decided she would stop cutting her hair when she was 13 way back in 1973.
Now, her hair is 18 feet (5.6 meters) long, and Xie has the distinct honor of having the world’s longest hair in the Guinness World Records female category. And she’s used to patiently managing her lengthy hair.
#14. Craig Golias puts the typical bodybuilder to shame, but he has a tough time doing the basic things.
He barely fits into the bathroom stall, but his impressive musculature has gained him tons of recognition from the bodybuilding community and is believed to be one of the world’s biggest bodybuilders.
#15. Wim Hof, aka The Iceman, is known for his extraordinary ability to put up with freezing temperatures.
The extreme athlete holds a few Guinness World Records of his own. He got one for swimming under ice and for going on a barefoot half-marathon on ice and snow. As if that weren't impressive enough, Wim also holds a record for exposing himself and coming into contact full-body with ice.
#16. Svetlana Pankratova is undoubtedly gorgeous, but no one can stop looking at her amazingly long legs.
This Russian’s legs were checked by the Guinness World Records in 2003, and they measured 132 cm (51.9 inches). This earned her the title for the longest legs and no one else has broken that record.
#17. This stunning child from Nepal has a rare condition that's often referred to as "cat eye syndrome".
The rare chromosomal disorder gives the pupils an overly exaggerated shape that affects the eyes and other parts of the body. This condition could also include abnormalities in the ears, heart, kidneys, and anal region.
#18. This girl suffers from polycystic ovary syndrome, a health condition that causes body hair to grow really thick and bushy in some cases.
Luckily, this hasn't affected this stunning beauty's self-esteem. She figured out ways to work with her features and loves to play with makeup and hairstyles that bring out her features. And we're 100% on board with seeing more people embrace their own unique and natural beauty.
#19. Ever since he was a little boy, Rodrigo Alves worshiped perfection.
After years of bullying, he set out on a quest to perfect his look. He spent more than $883,000 dollars to look like a Ken doll. Even though Rodrigo was diagnosed with Body Dysmorphia, he still believes he's setting a good example for people everywhere.
#20. Rodrigo wants to inspire others to follow their dreams, even if people judge them.
When asked about his particular look, Rodrigo explained, "Male perfection is to me having symmetry. So a chiselled face, broad shoulders, a lean figure, a prominent jawline, defined abs and a chest in proportion." But he's not just focusing on the outside.
#21. "I now want to focus on building my brand with my style, fashion, personality and lifestyle - that's what I want to be known for."
That's not to say he's leaving behind his quest for perfection. A few months ago, Rodrigo went back to the doctor's office, only this time, he got an eye lift and an 11th rhinoplasty in Iran.
#22. Meet Elaine Davidson, the most pierced woman around the world, who's got over 6,925 piercings.
Some of them are pretty heavy, weighing at 7 pounds each. But if you think someone as unique as Elaine would only fall for someone who shares her love for piercings, think again. In 2011, she tied the knot with a simple man from Britain who looks like your typical next-door-neighbor.
#23. Douglas Watson and Elaine Davidson happily posed for pics before they set off to a romantic reception at a nearby cafe.
The odd couple lives in Edinburgh, where Elaine runs her business - Tropical Rainbow, an aromatherapy shop.
