People call her the snake girl becuase of her amazing talent. She’s probably the world’s most flexible contortionist, who eats fat food, drinks alcohol, smokes and most surprisingly, doesn’t train....more photos below:
Leilani Franco, from London, UK, is a professional contortionist, who is featured in the new Guinness World Records 2014 book for a trio of records she has set with her super supple body. Franco has parlayed her skills into a lifestyle and career, she has been working with the world-class cirques since age 16 and took part in various international competitions.
She said: “People are always amazed and shocked and disgusted about what I do. Its really funny to see their reactions especially when I just do things randomly in public like bending. Its funny to see how they react to it. I never had to train to become really flexible I was just always really bendy. I really like smoking, drinking and eating fatty foods.
I invent new tricks by taking inspiration from everyday occurrences. For instance, I was brushing my teeth with my hands and I thought why not try it with my feet. I try to do everything with my feet or upside down as much as possible. Being 29-years-old I have not felt any repercussions yet. I have no injuries, I have never once been injured in my life and I don’t feel any signs of slowing down.”
She’s accomplished the most full body revolutions – 25 – maintaining a chest stand in one minute, performed the fastest human backbend walk – 20 meters in 10.05 sec – and traveled the fastest 20 meters in a contortion roll – 17.47 sec. You can see Franco’s unique talents on display in a video.
