Meet the 10 yr-old boy who believes he is reincarnation of Hollywood agent Marty Martin

Melbourne: A 10 year-old boy believes that he is reincarnation of the Hollywood agent Marty Martin, it has been revealed. Ryan, a primary school student from Oklahoma, started sharing "memories" of acting alongside Mae West and dancing on Broadway when he was just four years old, News.com.au reported.

But it wasn't until his worried mother Cyndi started showing him books about Hollywood that Ryan realized whose life he was apparently recalling.

Martin, who died in 1964, had been an extra in the 1932 film before becoming a talent agent.

Not only did Ryan recognize Martin, he was also able to correctly confirm 55 details about the little-known figure's life, according to the boy's psychiatrist, Dr Jim Tucker, who specializes in children who claim to remember past lives. These included the color of Martin's car (green), a detailed description of his house and pool, and the fact that he had lived on a street with the word "rock" in it (Martin lived at 825 North Roxbury Drive, in Beverly Hills).

Ryan also correctly identified the age at which Martin died as 61, even though it had been misstated as 59 in official records. Now that Ryan was 10, he said his memories of Martin's life were fading.
