A man who starved himself in school out of fear of being branded a “fat dwarf” is now making a fortune as a sex worker.
Michael, who calls himself King Dwarf, suffered horrific bullying because of his height.
Lonely and scared, he would even offer classmates sexual favours for “protection” from his aggressive peers.

But Michael is now 31 and said taking ownership of his disability changed his life.
He is earning money as an escort and OnlyFans model and he gave a candid interview with the Daily Star about his turbulent journey.
“Sex work to me is extremely empowering because I’m making money off of my body, the very thing that I was bullied for my whole life, the very same body that I didn’t think would be sexually appealing to anyone,” he explained.
“Now it’s all these people’s ultimate fantasy that will pay me an incredible amount of money to experience it. Sex work gave me the power back.”
He added: “Because I went through such a dark struggle in my life and survived, now I’ve finally just reached that point of loving that person who I’m staring back at in the mirror and I’m so f**ing proud of myself for what I’ve achieved.
“I want to do this for the other dwarves in my community that don’t have a voice, that can’t imagine putting themselves out there and doing the things I’m doing online without fear of them being mocked or trolled.”
Michael, who is four foot and six inches tall and from New Jersey, went to an all-boys school and he described it as a “dark and traumatic” time.
One of his earliest memories was being asked to run an errand by a teacher while she explained to his classmates that he wouldn’t continue to grow like the rest of them.
Opening up, he remembered: “It was very much 'OK, he’s not going to grow but that doesn’t mean we’re going to stop bullying him'.
“My struggle with self-esteem was quite intense, to where suicidal thoughts would flood my mind. I didn’t think I would ever be perceived attractive romantically, sexually, you name it. I was surrounded by heterosexuals who had no interest in me.
“I wouldn’t eat because I was scared to death of being a fat dwarf on top of it, so much so that to this day I still don’t like the sensation of feeling full.
“My self-esteem was so low that in order to find some sort of protection if you will, I’d perform sexual favors for some of the boys, which of course made me spiral more, as I wasn’t getting any affection or love that I desperately wanted.”
After school Michael eventually began streaming on the internet where his popularity was immediate.
This inspired him to join sex sites like Chaturbate and eventually OnlyFans where he made life-changing money.
He said: “I’ve been extremely blessed and thankful for all the support from my fans, so I don’t like to talk specifics, but I can say I broke six figures in my first year, which was last year.
“I want people to know sex work is in fact work. I hope that if you read this, I’ve given a better insight into it from the world of a handicapped sex worker.”
Pressed on why he became an escort when he was so successful online, he explained: “I was doing the content creation, I was doing the gogo gigs, and now I had this other avenue open up to me where I was being offered money for sex through in person and online conversations.
“And that right then and there made me feel so powerful, like I finally had the power after all these years. Men wanted to experience my dwarf body so badly they would pay for it.”
His clients range from married men, single guys, wealthy socialites and others who identity as straight but want to experience something different.
Michael, whose boyfriend is also in the industry, is starting to share his experiences for the first time.
Asked why now, he said: “The journey to being open and proud was quite a long and arduous but I have to say that I started owning myself once the feedback was coming in and my popularity on social media skyrocketed.
“I felt good about myself finally, it was like a massive f**k you to those terrible bullies I had.”
His career as an escort has led to positive and negative experiences, like one man who repeatedly tried to choke him.
But referring to his best memory so far, he said: “It would have to have been an older client in New York who was incredibly wealthy yet so down to earth and honestly he was such a lovely human being.
“I spent time with him in his penthouse apartment even after our session was over and insisted on still paying my rate just for my companionship. He became more than a client and is a close friend of mine now.”
Finally, Michael explored what else he wants to achieve now he is in his 30s.
Speaking from his apartment, he said: “Honestly first and foremost, I just want to achieve happiness, that’s all I truly want in life. I want to continue to wake up everyday and have my partner that loves me for me, while doing the work that I love.
“Secondly, I want to continue to bring sex work into the mainstream. I want to continue telling my story through various platforms and make the dwarf and handicapped communities, who are out there struggling with the very same issues, proud of me.”
