A man, whose family all suffer from dwarfism apart from him, is revealing how he’s been dubbed the “real life Buddy the Elf” ahead of Christmas.

Peet Montzingo towers over his family at 6ft 1in tall, with them only reaching up to 4ft 4in.

Growing up, he thought it was “normal” for parents to be the same height as their kids, but he quickly faced reality when going to school.

Now, he embraces his unique family and creates hilarious skits centred around the height difference.

In a recent clip, racking up 14.9m views and over 872,000 likes, he’s dubbed himself the real-life “Buddy the Elf” ahead of the festive season.

“I truly thought it was normal for families to be mostly little people and look like my family,” Peet, an artist from Los Angeles, What’s The Jam.

“I didn’t feel like an outcast or that they were dwarves, they were just my family and this is how [everyone else’s] looked.

“It wasn’t until preschool when I saw other kids with their parents and realised that they would actually look up at their mums and dads.

“This completely shook my world.

“In fact, most people didn’t believe me.”

In the video, Peet films his mum from a bird’s eye view, while she records him from below.

Cassandra added: “Omg this is sooooo good.”

For Peet, it’s not always fun and games, though. He added: “I would get made fun of at school and people would make weird backhanded comments about it.

“But then eventually people thought it was either really strange or really cool.

(Jam Press/@peetmontzingo)

“No one just viewed it as normal.

“And then fast-forward to adulthood, just casually going to random events and parties, meeting random people.

“Somehow the universe always makes the word ‘midget’ come up around me – and I am always going to be ‘that guy’ to talk about it and educate people.

“Because of this, it’s now just become part of my identity that I am someone who will approach these uncomfortable topics when other people won’t.

“But on a serious note, at the end of the day, I love bringing light to these situations.

“And I feel I am lucky enough to do it in a way that resonates with other people.”
