This Is The TALLEST Man In The World! You Won't BELIEVE How TALL He REALLY Is!

This is the living tallest man on Earth, and his name is Sultan Kösen.

Sultan Kösen (35) was measured 8 ft 2.8 in (251 cm) in Ankara, Turkey. This farmer was the first man over 8 ft to be measured by Guinness World Records in over 20 years. He took the title from Xi Shun who measured 7 ft 8.9 in

In fact, there are only 10 confirmed or reliable cases in history of people reaching 8 ft or more.

"I never imagined I would be in that book, I dreamed about it, but it was still a huge surprise" he said.

He also holds the record for largest hands of a living person, each one measuring 11.22 in (28.5 cm) from the wrist to the tip of the middle finger.

Like all extreme tall people, Sultan is suffering from a a condition known as "pituitary gigantism", which is the result of an over-production of growth hormone. Beside massive height, the effects are large hands, a thickening of the bones, and painful joints.

He works occasionally as a farmer to support his family, but because of his extreme height he was never able to finish school.

"I want what everyone else wants - a wife, a family, a nice home. I'd also like the chance to find some decent clothes that fit! I've already had a suit made for me, beside that pair of jeans made specially for me!" he said.

Now he is happily married to his wife Merve Dibo, and just trying to live a normal and quite life.
