Sultan
Kösen, 2.47 cm - (8 ft 1 in).
Sultan Kösen was
born and raised near Mardin, Turkey, Kösen's growth
as a child was normal until the age of ten when his growth
accelerated rapidly. A pituitary tumour was diagnosed
and his growth continued until the tumour was removed
in 2008.
Kösen lives with his parents, three brothers and
sister, who are all normal sized. He was unable to complete
his schooling because of his height and works part-time
as a farmer. Despite his height he claims to enjoy a normal
lifestyle and enjoys playing computer games with his friends.
He describes the advantages of being tall as seeing from
great distance, being able to help out his family with
domestic jobs such as changing light bulbs and hanging
curtains. He lists disadvantages as not being able to
find clothes or shoes that fit or finding it extremely
hard to fit into a regular size car.
When asked what his hopes are after being officially given
the title he said: "To travel and see the world and
have a car that accommodates my size! My biggest dream
though, is to get married and have children - I'm looking
for love."... |
