WHEN Nick Vujicic was born without arms or legs, even his parents couldn't bare to look at him.

His own father left the hospital room to vomit and his distraught mother didn't hold him until he was four months old.

At aged ten he was suicidal - trying to drown himself in the bath.

But instead of giving up on life, brave Nick has now embraced them with the help of friends and family.

The 26-year-old from Melbourne, Australia enjoys everything other lads his age do - playing football, swimming, surfing. He's even won awards for his zest for life.

Something very weird and wrong about those pictures, if I didn't know better I'd say they were photoshopped. Good to see he is enjoying life though.

if you read the article it says "When I get in the water I float because 80 per cent of my body is lungs and my drumstick acts as a propeller."

"And once I was in a car and this girl at traffic lights was giving me the eye. She could only see my head so I decided to do a 360 in the car seat to freak her out.

"Her face was like woooooooah what is going on? She sped off really quickly."

I hope he wasn't driving

Oh right. I did think it could be that and the fact that you'd probably seen quite a few in your time.
