Meet Arat Hosseini, ‘World’s Strongest Kid’ & A Football Prodigy Who’s Become An Internet Sensation

Ira Shukla

What were you doing when you were 5? I, for one, was living my best life with parents taking care of all my needs and wants.

And so, it is shocking (and slightly unsettling) to see 5-year-old Arat Hosseini from Iran playing football, climbing ropes and building muscles. 

Some say he is the ‘strongest kid in the world’ and we can see why.

According to reports, his father started making him workout at the age of 2 (I’d ask what you were doing at 2 but it’s unlikely anyone of us remembers).

Since then, there has been no looking back for Arat, who has now become an internet sensation with over 2 million followers on Instagram.

Among other things, what has caught people’s eyes are his football skills.

There are multiple videos of him, dribbling past his fellow young opponents making it look like an unfair game to be honest.

Recently, one such video was posted by Indian businessman Anand Mahindra who initially thought him to be a girl.

This drew a lot of reactions from people who couldn’t stop praising the kid’s talent. 

While most of what Arat does is impressive, it does somewhere raise a slight concern towards his health and well-being. That said, we see him killing it on the football field if he keeps going like this.
