The hairiest man in the world lives in China. While some record holders boast about the length of their eyelashes or hair growing straight out of their ears, this is a completely different matter.
Yu Zhenghuan first noticed this problem when he was 2 years old. The hair in his ears caused the child's hearing to deteriorate.
Medicine proved powerless. Despite this, the record holder is alive and well, acts in films and has long been famous throughout the world.
The hairiest person in the world, according to the 2002 Guinness Book of Records, lives in China.
Yu Zhenghuan is known as a singer, musician and actor who appears in big films, and he is also involved in charity work.
The Chinese man owes his increased hairiness to a rare disease for which no cure has yet been invented.
Periodically, it is necessary to undergo a course of laser hair removal, because a man’s body is 96% covered with thick hair.
His first film work, "Monkey Boy's Treasure Hunt," made the Chinese man popular in his homeland as a child.
However, there are complications. While ordinary men have to shave, Zhenghuan has to turn to beauticians to remove facial hair.
Otherwise, it becomes so overgrown that the hair interferes with his vision and hearing.
But this circumstance does not prevent the man from living a full life. He travels a lot and has a girlfriend who is not embarrassed by the peculiarity of her suitor.
