MEXICO CITY – Aleksei Goloborodko has one of the most unusual jobs in the world.
At 22 years old, he spends his days tying himself in knots... literally.
Aleksei performs one of the most jaw-dropping acts in Cirque du Soleil's Luzia.
"Before the show I warm up for 40 minutes," said Aleksei. "I need to warm up each part of the body – feet, knees, hip, lower back, upper back, shoulders, everything."
He started practicing contortion at just four years old.
To learn more about Aleksei, you can watch the video above.
To see his act in person, you can go see Cirque du Soleil Luzia in Houston through February 24, 2019.
