They could have adrenal hypoplasia such that they never started puberty. Like that one guy who looks like a 6-year-old but is actually 30.
I remember reading about that. There's actually a woman who looks perpetually 8, but is in her 20's and she was talking about how hard it is for her to find dates because any man she tried to go out with was either actually a pedo, or afraid of being seen as a pedo. I actually kinda feel bad for her, but I also understand how it would be hard for other guys, myself included, to see her as a fully functioning adult.
And this photo could be from an alternate timeline where everyone has benjamin-button disease and that guy is actually 57.
OR it's the child labor.
