Vijay Sharma – The most flexible man

Vijay Sharma can bend his own body in the most amazing ways. Actually, Vijay has earned the nickname “Rubber Man” in his native Rajasthan in India, for performing incredible flexibility stunts. Vijay is able to wrap his legs over his head, wind his arms around his back, crawl his body through a tennis racket and even drink from a coke bottle held between his toes. The 27-year-old shop assistant says his passion for extreme flexibility tricks comes from watching Jackie Chan movies when he was a kid.

Vijay Sharma discovered his unusual talents when he began taking martial arts lessons, so he could follow in the footsteps of his idol. He started crawling into tight spaces, curling up in boxes, and before he knew it, he was earning the title of “Rubber Man” in the Limca Book of records. That’s India’s version of the Guinness Book of Records and he is now hoping to get recognized in the Guinness Book of World Records.



"It was when I was training for martial arts as a boy that I realized my body was so bendable I might be capable of setting a world record in flexibility,” Vijay recently said. The most flexible man, who admits he would do "anything for fame" has already appeared on local TV shows, but is now looking to go international with his art.
