A dwarf who was bullied as a child has told how lifting weights and posting sexy photos of himself online has boosted his confidence and earned him an army of female admirers.
As a teenager, 4ft 2in Ismail Lanaani was cruelly taunted about his height. Bullies even dubbed him the ‘Midget of the Sahara’ and told him he would never get a girlfriend.
But now, the fashion-conscious 27-year-old, from Beni-Mellal, Morocco, who spends four-and-a-half hours at the gym several times a week, says his confidence has soared as women love his ripped muscles, handlebar moustache and quirky style.
He said: ‘I go to the gym to keep healthy and because I want a sexy body. I post photos on Instagram to express myself and get women saying they like my muscles.
‘Posting photos of myself could help others with dwarfism feel good about themselves. People with dwarfism should be represented in society and seen more, like as models.
‘If the chance came up to be a model I would accept it. I love fashion, especially American styles.’
Ismail, who can speak Arabic,English and French, also said that, although people have suggested he'll be single forever because of his stature, he is determined to find love.
‘I'm single at the moment and I've never had a girlfriend,’ he said. 'We have a lot of dating apps here that I could go on, but I'm not on any.‘I think a lot of people think I'm Casanova and I'm in a lot of sexual relationships but it's not true. I've only had one sexual partner.'
He added: ‘I would like to get married though, and I talk to girls in Europe and America. Maybe one day I could move to America for a better future, to get married and have a family.
