A man has shocked TikTok users after revealing how he can make coffee in his chest cavity.

Hunter Chrisp was born with pectus excavatum, a condition where the ribs and breastbone grow inward and form a dent, giving it a caved-in appearance.

The 27-year-old’s dip started forming when he was just three years old.

Hunter shares his life on TikTok, (@hunter .chrisp), where one recent post reveals how he can make a cuppa in his dent and has gathered over 3.8 million views.

“My lungs have roughly 15% less capacity than the average person,” Hunter, a personal trainer from Auckland, New Zealand, told http://NeedToKnow.co.uk .

“It also means my heart is slightly further left and compressed.

“Quite often pectus people have heart issues, shortness of breath and need surgery to prevent heart failure, but fortunately for me I manage to get by.

“The intention of my video was to catch people's attention, making a coffee in your chest isn't normal.

“But it's also a way to get people looking, and hopefully that means my content will be put in front of others who have pectus.

“I receive hundreds of messages from young men who have it and hate themselves, asking what they can do to ‘correct’ it.

“My advice and reason for making content is to learn to love and accept yourself as you are, only then will we find lasting happiness.”

In the video, Hunter can be seen lying down, before popping some granules in the dip in his chest.

He then adds – presumably cold – water and stirs with a teaspoon.

Hunter gets a straw and drinks it straight out of his chest.

The video has shocked users and gained 81,500 likes, as well as 800 comments so far.

Brogan said: “As a guy with pectus what the f**k.” [sic]

One person joked: “I have the opposite we could connect like legos.”

Someone else added: “Bluetooth device is ready to pair.”

“Sorry I feel like I’m interrupting something here,” wrote another follower.

“Starbies alternative,” said Malika. [sic]

“Okay, hear me out, BODY SHOTS! You could do a whole martini!” added someone else.

“Sippy cup,” wrote Titi.
