At 35 years old, but looking “young as a 14-year-old,” Denis Vashurin often carries his birth certificate to prove to the police that he is indeed an adult.
This 35-year-old man, who appears as a teenager, is Denis Vashurin, living in a small village in the Krasnoyarsk region of Russia. As a travel blogger, he visits many places, necessitating the need to carry his birth certificate to prove he is not just a boy as many people often assume.
Few believe this man is already 35 years old.
Denis rose to fame two and a half years ago after being interviewed about his unique appearance. His personal Instagram page currently attracts 20,000 followers. He astonished the online community when he revealed his true age; many were left incredulous at his ageless looks.
Denis shared that most negative comments about his appearance appear online: “I have never been mocked in real life for my looks, but on social media, there are unpleasant comments and insults. However, I don’t care about them; everyone has their haters, and they are usually mean and unhappy people.”
This 35-year-old man is accustomed to suspicious questions about his age, both online and in real life. He recalls a time when he was pulled over by traffic police who suspected him of faking his driver’s license. After verifying his age, the officer began making jokes about Denis’s appearance, which made him very uncomfortable.
Denis Vashurin is often reminded while driving because the police think he is faking documents.
He recounted: “When people learn my age, they react differently. Some are very surprised, but after talking to me for a few minutes, they no longer pay attention to the gap between my appearance and my age.”
Denis revealed that while people always look at him with a special gaze, his girlfriend has never complained about his age or appearance.

Denis is passionate about travel.
Denis first noticed something different about himself when he was just 4 years old. Since then, he has sought answers for his ageless appearance, visiting the hospital many times but still unable to find the reason why he seems to defy aging.
As time goes by, the differences between Denis and his peers have become more evident. By his teenage years, it seemed that Denis had stopped aging. In his high school graduation photo, he looked like a child among mature young adults.

When he realized that he might not age any further, Denis initially felt a bit uneasy. However, he later thought that his life would have to continue despite challenges, and he maintained a positive outlook. “I don’t see happiness as being different, but the downsides can turn into upsides. It depends on each person, their courage, and their ability to arrange their lives,” Denis said.
Denis believes that the most important thing is health, not appearance. Like everyone else, he does not want to age. Currently, he spends a lot of time traveling and often shares his adventures on Instagram. Denis also enjoys spending time with his girlfriend, who has never judged him based on his appearance.
