14 year old ‘owl head’ flexibility hopes to land in Hollywood

14 year old Pakistani, Muhammad Sameer Khan stuns the world with his unique ability to turn his head by 180 degrees and his shoulders by 360 degrees.

Muhammad Sameer Khan from Karachi is being nicknamed as ‘human owl’ as he turns his head to look behind him. Sameer works as a part of an eight-member dance group, Dangerous Boys, in Karachi and performs in dance shows to earn a living.

Sameer uses his hands to help rotate his head back over his shoulders. Now he hopes his unbelievable flexibility will land him a part in a Hollywood movie.

                    

The teenager, who trains constantly to keep up his elasticity, said: “I would have been six or seven when I saw an actor in a Hollywood horror movie turning his head to look behind him. It fascinated me. I started practicing for it and within few months, I was able to it. My mother slapped me when she saw me doing this and told me never to do it again as I might end up hurting my neck but with time she realized that I’m God gifted. My dream is to work like that actor in Hollywood horror movies.”

Sameer quit his studies and became part of a dance group, Dangerous Boys, to earn a living and help his family run the household affairs after his father fell ill. His father Sajid Khan, 49, had suffered heart strokes twice and left working.

Sameer earns a meager sum of Rs 600-Rs 1000 per show. “I work so that I can support my family. I don’t want that due to lack of resources my four sisters do not have to quit studies,” he said

Asher Khan, lead dancer of Dangerous Boys, said: “I was shocked when I first saw Sameer’s ability to rotate his neck and shoulders. He is incredible. He is extremely flexible and I am sure he will go a long way if he gets proper training .”

Sameer has found several fans in his dance group and never shies away from showing his incredible talent.

Sameer added: ‘I am working on my dance skills, gymnastic stunts and acting skills as well in order to find better work opportunities to support my family and fulfill my dream. I hope to show my talent in big screens someday.’
