Robert Wadlow, Wadlow reached 8 ft 11.1 in in height and weighed 490 lb (220 kg) at his death at age 22. His great size and his continued growth in adulthood were due to hyperplasia of his pituitary gland, which results in an abnormally high level of human growth hormone. He showed no indication of an end to his growth even at the time of his death.








Zeng Jinlian was 8 ft 1.75 inches and 305 lb

How fricking weird would it be to have a 5’1” 4 year old running around your house...

Look at the 1st pic. Wadlow's pants are taller than the guy to the left of him.

Thankfully, doctors can stop this uncontrollable growth so the people can live normal and more lengthy lives.
Lengthy as in years, not inches.

If those two had a video on the 'Hub, it would be the most viewed video of all time.

8'11" !!!

That poor man.

I can't even imagine what that would look like walking down the sidewalk. I've seen a 7'5" man before and couldn't believe what I was looking at.

...But 8'11. Damn!

At 0:18 he's comically in front of a BB hoop with regular people jumping up around him.

When you're that far out on the growth curve (either way) it's basically impossible to live a normal life.
