At just 4ft 5in tall, Jason Owen is the UK's only dwarf body builder, but that doesn't stop him bench pressing more than twice his own body weight. The 30-year-old doorman, who works in bars around Essex and Surrey, tips the scales at 11 stone but can bench-press a staggering 26 stone - the same weight as an adult gorilla.
Known as 'Mini Arnie' after his hero Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jason spends four hours a day working out in the run up to bodybuilding competitions. Jason, 30, from Mitcham, Surrey, said: 'Pound for pound I'm one of the strongest guys at the gym. 'People say I'm amazing but I just love the buzz of competing.
'Occasionally I do get grief for being a dwarf when I'm working the doors. 'I don't let it get to me and often by the end of the night I have them over my shoulder when I chuck them out. 'People are always surprised by my strength.' Jason also works part-time as a bingo caller and cares for dwarf mum, Babs, 68. But he still finds time to follow a gruelling training regime - including hours of body building at the gym and a strict diet.
