Looks like a Photoshop job to me, although I could be wrong. He might just be a genetic freak.

That kind of musculature does not generally develop without high testosterone levels, which is why female bodybuilders never achieved those kinds of muscles until the advent of steroids. It also means that prepubescent kids cannot achieve that kind of development, because they have not yet experienced the testosterone surge that accompanies puberty.

I've seen vids of the kid on TV. It is one of the things that has made concrete my opinion that muscle-freak are grotesque, and I have serious doubt that it is at all healthy for the kid.

... And I wouldn't be surprised if some kind of growth hormones were involved...

If it's legit, then it's a lock to be caused by either steroids, hormone supplements, or some kind of genetic anomaly.

BTW, anyone wonder if this kid has friends? i'd worry about his social life.
i'd hate for him to grow up without many friends. that would suck, and he
would feel its because of how he looks and that its his parents fault. :\

In all seriousness, it's likely he doesn't considering the training plus his schoolwork plus his music. I cannot understand how a parent could treat their child like this.

I see that mentality all the time. They don't want their kid to be happy; they want their kid to be something they can show off to their friends. That's how they prove they're good parents, by bragging about what their kid can do. It's like people showing off a trained animal.

Heh, I thought that, too.

But, yes, he's definitely got to be taking steroids. It literally looks like it's a kids head attached to an adult's body, and there's no physical way for a pre-pubescent boy to get that sculpted naturally.
It's just...creepy.

This picture is rather incriminating. The head is WAY out of proportion to the body.

The head looks a little bit like a girl's head to me. It really doesn't look right. It's like an EF member's childhood pictures.

This kid is for real. I saw him on the Howard Stern show once.

And yes, it does seem his dad is using him as a dog to perform tricks, as Wong said. Howard repeatedly tried to ask the kid if he had any friends his own age, and the father kept trying to answer. Howard kept telling him he was talking to the kid, and after the father kept interrupting. Howard gave up trying to get an answer from the kid.
