Aditya 'Romeo' Dev is a body builder with dwarfism made famous by being reported in the UK press in February 2008.[1] Romeo can shoulder press custom made 1.5kg dumbbells, a notable feat given his 9kg (20 lbs.) body weight and 2' 9" stature.[2] Although it has not been published in a Guinness World Records book, in 2006 they recognised him to be the "world's smallest bodybuilder".[3]

Unlike many little people Romeo is well proportioned, having a head of 15 inches and a chest of 20 inches. He maintains his toned body by putting in long hours with his trainer Ranjeet Pal.[4]

Romeo enjoys great fame in his home country and makes many appearances on local television to show off his dancing abilities.[5] In addition to bodybuilding, Romeo's dream is to travel extensively as an entertainer and dancer. One day he hopes to perform in London with his idol Jazzy B.[6]
