The video starts by showing his clenched fist with only his thumb sticking outwards. 

Mr Pina says: ‘Hey guys, so this is my thumb. Yes it is very long, yes it is real and yes, I have never lost a thumb battle.’

He then jokingly uses his thumb to swipe a water bottle off of his table.  

Jacob Pina does not know why his thumb is so out of proportion with the rest of his hand

The 20-year-old has no idea why his thumb is so out of proportion with the rest of his hand but he has embraced it and loves showing it off. 

He said: ‘There is no reason, it’s so big just an anomaly.

‘When people see my thumb, they freak out and measure it next to their own thumb, I feel great about it.

‘It’s always great to be different and embrace your own essence.’
