Meet the 68-year-old Man Who Can Bend His Body Into Unimaginable Shapes (Photos+Video)

 

The man whose picture appears above is known as the oldest 'bendy man' in the world and can twist his body into utterly unimaginable shapes.

According to Mirror Online, the 68-year-old Mbah Bejan, retired from performing in 2001 to rear chickens, however he still does tricks for his fans occasionally if they ask him to.

The grandfather of 16 is so flexible that he can even fit into a pipe with just a 50cm diametre.

 

Mbah, from the North Kalimantan province of Indonesia doesn't have a known medical condition to make him so flexible, but discovered his talent on a fishing trip aged 11.

He injured himself by stepping on a thorn and was able to twist his leg at an unnatural angle to check his foot and sort his cut out. His friends assumed he was badly injured, hence why he was able to bend in such an unnatural way.

He began to showcase his strange talents to the public when he was mid-20s, and some of his signature moves include 'the roasted chicken' where he lies on his back and places his feet flat on his stomach, and the cobra, where he lies face down and presses his calves to his side.

The pensioner claims he doesn't feel any pain when he performs these tricks, and is still something of a celebrity in his home town.
