Ever wondered what a real-life Wolf Man would look like if he were just a regular guy? Meet Lalit Patidar, an 18-year-old boy from India with a unique ‘superpower’. He was born with the rare genetic condition known as Hypertrichosis, often referred to as the “Werewolf Syndrome”, which causes excessive hair growth all over his face.

Instead of letting his condition hold him back, Lalit embraces his uniqueness with confidence and charm! Here are some facts about this extraordinary young man:

Being born with a rare genetic condition comes with an award these days! On 6th March 2025, Lalit was recognised as having the hairiest face in the world by Guinness World Records. He travelled to Milan, Italy for “Lo Show dei Record”  where his record was officially verified, and as of 13th March 2025, he holds this astounding record!

Lalit’s case is one of fifty documented cases of Hypertrichosis ever recorded since the Middle Ages, making him one in a billion! The “Werewolf Syndrome” affects the person since birth, where excessive growth of hair anywhere on the body starts growing where it’s not supposed to grow. Another notable figure of this condition is Julia Pastrana, the “Ape Woman”, who was heralded as a circus act due to her condition.

3. 95% of His Face Is Covered With Hair

Being labelled the world’s hairiest face is not just a simple feat. After an examination of the amount of hair growth on Lalit’s face in Milan, it was confirmed that he has nearly 202 hairs per square centimetre, making a whopping 95% of his face covered in hair! Talk about thick, luscious hair!

In an exclusive interview with Guinness World Records, Lalit admitted that his first day of school was met with strange stares from his fellow classmates. He continued by expressing that he tells people around him that he is not any different from the regular person; only his outward appearance is different, and everything inside is still the same. When asked how he responds to people telling him to shave the hairs on his face, the young man simply replied, “I like how I am, I don’t want to change how I look“. Talk about confidence!

5. Featured on the series “Born Different”

We see clips of him as a baby and playing with his friends which he briefly mentions of being bullied by the other school kids.

Instead of shying away from the public due to his condition, Lalit simply embraces his uniqueness by starting his own YouTube channel! Here, he documents his day-to-day life, such as getting a haircut at his favourite salon and his Guinness World Record Journey. The act of putting himself out there despite the slanders is a powerful testimony of self-acceptance.

Lalit Patidar’s story is living proof that self-acceptance and confidence are a recipe for facing any challenges thrown your way. Beauty comes from within, and holding your own by being proud of the person that you are, are the key takeaways of this boy’s amazing journey!
