Arat Hosseini is an Instagram sensation known for his soccer and gymnastic skills. At a young age, he has drawn a large followership on social media because of his skills and chiseled physique. He boasts of a prominent six-pack, impressive biceps, shoulder muscles and pectorals. With over 4 million followers on Instagram, he is one of the famous kids on the social media platform and he gets about 1 million likes on his posts.
He drew the public’s attention after a viral video of what many assumed was a girl dribbling opponents on the soccer pitch circulated on social media years ago. That ‘girl’ turned out to be a long, dark-haired Iranian boy whose father had been training to become an athlete since he was toddler. It is reported that Hosseini’s father Mohammed started training him in gymnastics since he was only 9-months-old. At two years old, he had already appeared on international publications.
“After realizing my son’s talents, at the suggestion of those around me, I opened a page on Instagram, which was extraordinarily welcomed not only in Iran but also abroad,” Mohammad Hosseini told Iran Front Page.
However, his father faced severe backlash for depriving Arat from a normal childhood for financial gains. He denied it all, claiming that his son had always been interested in athletics. According to Arat’s father, he was acting as a guide and working in the best interest of his son.
Ever since the photos of his tiny six-pack abs and videos of his training routines went viral on social media, the young boy has since become a instant celebrity.His admirers have since crowned him the world’s strongest 6-year-old.
