Isaac Harvey, a 26-year-old man from Ilford in East London is a renowned filmmaker despite the fact that he is living with a disability.
The young man was born with a birth defect called limb hypoplasia which affected the development of the limbs and left him with no hands and tiny legs.
Without allowing this to hold him back, Thesun.co.uk reported that Isaac started vlogging and filming himself playing games with his feet which amazed many social media users.
