Man, 27, says he couldn’t find work to support his family because he looks like a child

This takes being ID-ed in Tesco to the next level

A man has gone viral after claiming he couldn't get a job because he looks too young - despite the fact that he says he is 27-years-old. Mao Sheng, from Guangdong in China, said employers don't believe he is really in his twenties, meaning he really struggles to find work.

While most would kill for youthful looks or get a buzz from being ID-ed from time to time, Sheng said: "For me it's a disadvantage. My appearance prevents me from having a job to support my family." https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=8&v=wpiAO_V785c&feature=emb_logo Videos of Sheng opening up about his struggles have since gone viral, with many sharing their sympathy for the 27-year-old.
