Shortest Stuntman

Kiran Shah (born September 28, 1956) is an actor and a stuntman.

Shah was born in Nairobi, Kenya. He lived in Kenya until he was twelve years old, when he moved to India with his family. While living in India, he became interested in films, and when his family moved to London, he became involved in the show business. His first film was the 1977 movie Candleshoe, as a stand-in for a girl called Sara Tamakuni, and when stunt coordinator Bob Anderson asked him to do her stunts as well, his career was started.

Kiran is often confused with Deep Roy; they are both dwarf Kenyan actors of Indian descent who got their starts in film and television in the late 70s.

Most piercings in a lifetime (female)


Elaine Davidson is the world record holder for body piercing in the Guinness Book of Records and as of February 2011 her piercings total 6,925.

The former nurse from Brazil first broke the record in May 2000, when a Guinness World Records official examined her and found 462 piercings on various parts of her body, including 192 on her facial area alone. "People often just want to look at me or touch me - some even want to kiss me" Elaine says.

Elaine never removes the rings and studs, which she estimates weigh a total of three kilos. She insists there is no pain involved in piercing and sleeps soundly with all of her piercing ornaments in place. However, while she is traveling the world, she keeps all her piercing ornaments in place but must remember to take her watch off when going through airport security scanners!

A lady of many talents, Elaine also sleeps on a bed of nails, walks on fire and lays on broken glass, and holds a black belt in Judo which she earned in Japan. Elaine also enjoys extreme sports such as "Sky Diving", "Horse Riding", "The Trampoline", loves the Theater because of the costumes and she loves dressing up.Butterfly Tattoo.

Elaine does not drink, take drugs or smoke cigarettes and she wants people to know this. In some ways this is because she sees her position in the Guinness Book of Records as a responsibility as much as a dedication. However, Elaine does have a soft spot for coca cola.

Happy Valentine's Day !
