Devendra Suthar, an Indian man who holds the record for the most number of fingers and toes in the world.
The 43-year-old, from Himmatnagar in Gujarat, western India, has a total of 28 fingers and toes, the most digits of anyone in the world - a feat recognised by the Guinness Book of World Records.
He suffers from Polydactylism, meaning he has seven fingers on each hand and seven toes in each feet - albeit two toes are joined.
Now, he has to focus on not accidentally slicing one of them off at work.

The tradesman also said how he enjoys entertaining children by performing odd tricks with the extra digits.Devendra said:
"Because of my extra fingers people here treat me as a celebrity.They come to see me and the attention makes me feel special".
