An unbelievably flexible boy from port city of Karachi can turn his head 180 degrees to look directly behind him.
Muhammad Sameer, Pakistan’s ‘human owl’ teenager, uses his hands to help rotate his head back over his shoulders, reported the British news paper Daily Mail.
The 14-year-old hopes that his unbelievable flexibility will land him a part in a Hollywood movie.
The teenager, who trains constantly to keep up his elasticity, said: ‘I would have been six or seven when I saw an actor in a Hollywood horror movie turning his head to look behind him.
‘It fascinated me. I started practising for it and within few months, I was able to it.
‘My mother slapped me when she saw me doing this and told me never to do it again as I might end up hurting my neck but with time she realised that I’m God gifted.
Sameer discontinued his academic pursuits and joined a dance group, Dangerous Boys, to earn a living for his family after his father fell ill.
His father Sajid Khan, 49, had suffered heart strokes twice, following which he quit working.
Mother Rukhsana Khan, 45, said: ‘Sameer’s father was working in a textile mill. But he had to stop working after he suffered heart strokes twice in a year.
‘Since then he not keeping well and the whole responsibility of the family came on Sameer’s shoulders.
‘He is only a kid but we have no other option. I wanted him to study and make a name for himself but destiny had something else in store.’
‘I work so that I can support my family. I don’t want that due to lack of resources my four sisters do not have to quit studies.
He has found several fans in his dance group and never shies away from showing his incredible talent.
Asher Khan, lead dancer of Dangerous Boys, said: ‘I was shocked when I first saw Sameer’s ability to rotate his neck and shoulders. He is incredible.
‘He is extremely flexible and I am sure he will go a long way if he gets proper training.’
