A 10-year-old Japanese boy has become an internet sensation by emulating his hero Bruce Lee on social media.

Ryusei Imai, from Nara in south-central Honshu, began watching the martial arts legend's movies when he was just a year old and now, nine years on, he has turned himself into a jaw-droppingly good emulation.

He explained that he wants to move as fast as Lee, News.com.au reports, and if the video below is anything to go by, he is very much on the way to achieving martial arts stardom himself.

Ryusei's parents knew that their son had an exceptional gift when, after playing Lee's films for him, he began to perfectly replicate the star's nunchaku scenes.

His father Ryuji Imai referred to Lee's saying that he doesn't think, he feels, and he said that this is something that he sees in his son when he performs martial arts.

Using a combination of stretching and floor exercises, including one-handed push-ups on his knuckles and outside runs, the 10-year-old trains every single day, and it definitely shows.

His muscular frame has landed him TV appearances in his home country and he gets a lot of attention at school because of it too.

He said his friends compliment his muscles in PE class, in particular.

However, despite amassing half a million followers on Instagram, Ryusei's father said that he doesn't want to pressure his son into doing anything he's not genuinely passionate about.

He said that the most important thing to him is that his son devotes his time to doing what he loves and enjoying himself.

This comes after a ripped grandma revealed how her muscles help her land younger men last year.

The grandma explained that working out five times a week has led to her winning an impressive 30 titles at fitness competitions.

She has been working out regularly for some time, having seriously taken to the gym at the age of 48, and winning her first figure competition a year later. She was inspired to work out after seeing an ad for a figure competition.

Maxwell explained that when she first began working out, a key motivation was her desire to make her body appear younger.

She said that she also enjoys proving to men that she is just as strong, if not more, in the weightlifting department.

The 63-year-old added that she has always had a penchant for younger men, explaining that her ex-husband was 13 years younger than her. She is currently single.

Now, because she has such an impressive physique, she is attracting younger men - and has never actually had a partner older than her.

For Maxwell, true happiness and confidence has come later in life, and she credits this to fitness.
