Jacob Pina, from Westport, Massachusetts, has taken social media by storm thanks to his unusually long thumbs, which he can stretch to an impressive five inches, nearly double the average thumb length of 2.74 inches. Though his thumbs measure a standard size when relaxed, his unique ability to extend them has fascinated his 2.8 million TikTok followers. “People always say things like, ‘I bet you’ve never lost a thumb war,’ or ‘That’s the best thumbs up I’ve ever seen,’” Jacob shared, adding that he’s never felt self-conscious about his talent.
Jacob discovered his extraordinary thumbs in high school and later consulted doctors, who confirmed his condition isn’t linked to any health issues. Despite claims that his videos are fake, Jacob insists his talent is real. “No app, no Photoshop. It’s real, dude,” he told "The Boston Globe." While he admits his thumbs look “weird” compared to his other fingers, Jacob embraces the attention and continues to amaze viewers with his unusual ability, sharing videos of himself stretching his thumb and comparing it to normal-sized thumbs.
