He told Daily Mail, "There is no reason, it’s so big just an anomaly,” he said. “When people see my thumb, they freak out and measure it next to their own thumb, I feel great about it. It’s always great to be different and embrace your own essence." The Westport resident, however, told BuzzFeed, "I just dislocate my thumb, by forcing it out of its socket, to make it appear longer. My doctor says it's abnormal but can't officially link it to any known medical conditions." Odisha Woman Born With 20 Toes and 12 Fingers is Branded a Witch (View Pics)

Only as a teenager, he know that his thumb was extraordinary and longer that thumbs of people his age. With that giant thumb, the rest of his fingers look a little tiny. Pina's thumb is often compared to the height of a can of coke or an A5 piece of paper. Earlier when his thumb became a talk on social media, he said that he felt great being different but did not know why it did not look like that of others. He was surprised after posting his first video on his long thumb on TikTok where it got a lot of attention. People had mixed reactions, with some appearing curious while others were disgusted.
