The London 2012 Olympics may be kicking off pretty soon but it’s the Royal Family of Strange People who have caught our attention today.
Here we have Gary Stretch, whose real name is Gary Turner in case you’re wondering, as he practices his routine in ‘The Royal Family of Strange People’ at the Priceless London Wonderground, Southbank Centre, London.
Apparently, Gary suffers from a rare condition that makes his skin super elastic. According to exlion.com, there are only nine other people in the world who share the condition.
He’s a former plasterer from Lincolnshire who was born with a form of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Early in his life doctors said he wouldn’t live past 25, but Gary is still doing what he does best like only he knows how.
Oh, and he also holds the Guinness World Records for putting 158 pegs on his face. However, we doubt he’s had much competition to deal with.
