young
Muscular, smooth-skinned Chaundo retired from modeling decades ago, but not because he lost his looks.
The Internet is going nuts for model Risa Hirako who looks more like 25 than 45.
Hyomyun Shin might look like a teenager, but he’s actually a 26-year-old adult. His permanently youthful features are a result of Highlander Syndrome, an extremely rare condition that causes the body to age at a drastically reduced rate.
All puns aside, we would never have guessed in a million years that this 15-year-old has nine years of professional boxing training under her belt.
Born in 1997, Tran Thi Kim Ngan is Vietnam’s most famous female boxer and recently shot to stardom when local media noticed her good looks. Despite still being in school, young Tran is already set to break both hearts and noses across the world, and, to quote our colleagues over at RocketNews24 Japan, is clearly hiding more than just a couple of boxing moves beneath that dress of hers.
