congenital growth-hormone disorders and aging

Skötkonung's Photo Skötkonung 12 Jan 2009

It came to my attention recently that comedian Andy Milonakis is in fact in his early thirties despite looking and sounding like a child. From viewing his show and photos of him, he doesn't appear to have aged at all. I was wondering if low growth hormone could be beneficial in slowing the process of aging? Andy claims his stature is a result of a different illness than Gary Coleman or Joe C, who owe their height to congenital kidney disease and celiacs disease, respectively.

Mr. Milonakis was completely up front about his age--it's no secret--but didn't want to go into great detail about his condition. Too "Barbara Walters Special," as he put it. "I do comedy," he said. Though his appearance did make it "harder to get girls," he said he's in good health. "I don't have any liver or kidney disease like Gary Coleman," he said.


Here is a Youtube video of Andy for those who are unfamiliar with him:

Any ideas? Thoughts?
