Hollywood has been trying to make The Curious Case of Benjamin Button for years. It finally went into production with Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett starring with David Fincher directing. It’s the story of a 50-year-old man who begins to age backwards and freaks out when he falls in love with 30-year-old Cate on his journey to death as a baby. The story is based on F. Scott Fitzgerald’s short story.
The Daily Mail has uncovered a story that works in reverse. A little girl is born and begins to age rapidly. It’s a medical condition known as Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome. The problem: this story is real.
‘My little girl is stuck in the body of an 80-year-old’
