His government name is Dermarjay Smith, but he's known to the world as "The Jamaican Kid Trainer".

The eight-year-old became an Internet sensation, when a video of him, training his family members went viral.

Some folks have good looks. Others have undeniable charm. Little man has both. Add those characteristics to a relentless desire to motivate and catchphrase, 'Me no do weakness. Me do muscle' that'll get anyone hype, and you've got a star worthy of national attention.

Smith recently appeared on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" and challenged Usain Bolt to a foot race, and he didn't back down.

Smith said he only recently got into exercising when he noticed kids bullying other his in his neighborhood.

He starts his day off with 60 pushups no break and ends with another 30 for good measure. 

"I had a cousin who was getting bullied about his size and his weight. So, I had to do something. So, like you see on the TV. I gotta be fit and strong." 

Here are the two videos that started the phenomenon. The first one has more than 500,000 views on YouTube.
