Although doctors were never able to diagnose the reason behind Hernandez's condition, he is happy.
"I feel happy because I'm unique," he said.
Although he dropped out of school in the eighth grade, Hernandez is very sociable, loves to travel - though he hasn't been outside Colombia - and likes to play dominoes. Sitting alone at home is not his cup of tea though.
What's more, he even has a girfriend - named Fanny and measures just under 5ft, he said.
