An unfortunate four year old boy resembles an 80-year-old pensioner due to an incredibly rare condition.

Bayezid Hossain, from outside Magura, southern Bangladesh, suffers a swollen face, hollow eyes, sagging skin, aching joints, difficulties passing urine and already has weak and broken teeth.

Children in his village, where he is affectionately referred to as ‘old man,’ were afraid to play with him at first – even though his father says he is much smarter than others the same age.

Bayezid is believed to suffer from progeria, which ages the body at eight times the normal rate.
