I look 14 and no one can guess my real age – I have to carry my birth certificate at all times | The Sun

A MAN who looks much younger than he actually is has shared that he needs to carry his birth certificate with him at all times.

35-year-old Denis Vashurin says people still don't believe he is a fully grown man and think he is in fact a teenager.

The travel blogger, from Russia, explained he is now used to peoples' reactions but his looks have caused him to receive insults and difficult run-ins with the police.

He said: "There were moments with the traffic police, as the inspector was surprised looking at [my] documents.

"But after all, he must obey the law.

"I have never been [bullied] in my life because of my appearance, but there are bad comments with insults.

"Everyone has haters and most often they are evil and unhappy people.

"At my age, people react differently – some are very surprised, but after talking for a couple of minutes, they no longer notice."

Denis noticed there was something different about his looks at the age of four.

But despite his bizarre inability to age, he had many friends at school.

While he claims to have visited many hospitals in search of an answer, there’s never been an explanation – but it’s made him happier in life.

He said: "I don’t consider happiness to be different, but the minuses can be turned into pluses.

"It depends on the person, fortitude, and ability to arrange their lives."

Denis now spends his time travelling and often posts on his Instagram account.

In a recent post someone wondered: "Are you really 35 or are you joking?"

While someone said: "Benjamin buttonn!!!!"

Denis rose to fame two-and-a-half years ago after being interviewed for the first time about his appearance, where his name quickly became known around the world.

Now, he focuses his free time on travelling, walking in the mountains, driving cars, and spending time with his girlfriend.

He added: "She has never been obsessed with my age or appearance.
