The internet is a very powerful tool which almost anyone can grab to get their 15 minutes of fame, if they want to. The exposure that social media networks are able to provide is able to change people's lives in a very short time. The beauty of this is that success can come to one, even in the absence of having any special talent. For example, Hasbulla Magomedov has become an internet star thanks to the spreading of memes that show him with a funny expression on his face. But what aroused the attention of internet users so much to this, was the fact that Hasbulla looks like a young child (in all respects) - but in reality he is a 19-year-old young man.

The young man suffers from a rare genetic disorder that alters his appearance, making him look more like a child than an adult. According to Dr. Karan Raj, Hasbulla has a growth hormone deficiency. This is a genetic disease that occurs when the brain's pituitary gland (responsible for producing most of our hormones) cannot produce certain growth hormones. The positive thing is that this deficiency can be identified and diagnosed from birth and, therefore, can be treated appropriately (just think of the story of the well-known footballer, Lionel Messi).

Hasbulla, from Makhachkala, Dagestan, started posting funny videos on social media sites during the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown, and today he has become a real star on the web. In some of his videos, Hasbulla imitates the fighting style of a famous Russian sportsman, Khabib Nurmagomedov - a mixed martial arts fighter - and for this reason, he was nicknamed "Mini Khabib". As mentioned, however, Hasbullà is nearly 19 years old, even if even his voice could be misleading and make it seem that he is just a child.

Hasbulla is so famous that he can afford to go on tour around the world, meeting his fans. It seems, in fact, that there are many who want to get to meet and be photographed with this "little" celebrity. During the summer of 2022, for example, he will be on tour in Australia and has already stated that, for religious and personal reasons, he will not be allowed to be photographed with female fans (which has sparked a number of controversies).
