My dad just passed at 91. It's hard to believe that this was the world of his childhood. Poor Wadlow: decent and intelligent and everyone fascinated with his disease that he could never hide. He aspired to be a lawyer. Can you imagine his presence in the courtroom?

[@britishchick09]

He sure would be a towering presence in the courtrooms of the past! :)

i love his sense of humor!

[@britishchick09]

Same! :D

[@bigt1877]

There is just something about him. It’s almost like as quickly as he grew, He also matured. Would have loved to see where he could have gone with modern medicine and technology. Shame he passed so young.

[@nathanmcdonald610]

Seems like a very humble and sweet guy. It's a shame he died so young.

[@spectra_vonhauntington]

[@britishchick09]

[@l.am.my.me.y1322]

He died at 22 just imagine what will be his height if he lived just 5 more years

[@Arju71]

😱

[@davidcoyle1084]

Doctors predicted he would keep growing for three years and would potentially hit 10 feet...which is what Ripley said in the interview.

[@georgefarrington895]

What a nice guy, I would have loved to meet him.

[@eltiogaming1049]

This is an incredible work, congrats 💚

[@britishchick09]

I would have loved to have met Robert Wadlow he sounds like a nice person maybe I can visit Alton Illinois where you was born and see that statue of him

[@britishchick09]

His statue is so cool (especially in person)! :D

[@HORSEYANIME2024]

Rip two amanzing men Robert wadlow and Robert ripley

[@humphreygruntwhistle3946]

Those were some pretty funny one-liners.

[@britishchick09]

They sure were! ;D

[@Opincargymnastics25]

honestly he’s proof giants used to exist

[@britishchick09]

And they still do! ;)

[@SuperRocket64]

This is amazing!!! Were did you find this?

[@britishchick09]

In a video Ripley's posted! (it's in the description) :D

[@fredez3261]

Remember in the bible about giants and fallen angels

[@andrewboi9387]

Ripley says in 3 years he would grow to 10 feet and 3 years later robert only 8'11

[@michaelsuder486]

Geez that's it?

[@sultanagung2466]

Is there the footage version of this record

[@britishchick09]

No. but there are visuals from a snippet at 2:25 in this video: www.dailymotion.com/video/x8perf

[@shiqitan8357]

How did you get this?

[@britishchick09]

I found it in a video posted by Ripley's! It's in the description (and the interview is 7 minutes into the vid) :)

[@beauferret5414]

I wonder if he was ever able to have a simple conversation without people mentioning his size?

[@ArcaneVolcano]

I feel like the topic of his height would inevitably come up in conversation even if you actively tried to avoid topic.

[@karlepaul6632]

From what I read, he did with people who already knew him. Just like with anyone else, you're curious, then you get accustomed, and you engage in regular conversation just like anyone else

[@AnnaandStanleyFNF]

Is there video footage

[@britishchick09]

No just this!

[@tremorsfan]

I wonder how they set up the microphone in the studio?

[@britishchick09]

He was probably sitting down so it would be easier to reach! :)

[@dreamthedream8929]

@@britishchick09 why was Roberts voice a lot louder than Ripley's? Something was out of place there

[@cristinapacheco997]

Hes just 8'11ft

[@NewNoob52]

Is Not enogh?
I think is very tall

[@reymarksegundo82]

Ohh No?? Horrifying voice?? Robert Wadlow Voice has deeper than Razor Ramon (Scott Hall).. So young but so horrifying voice. That's why he died so young but because of extremely growth not carrying 9 ft. Tall in 1940.

[@Itz_Minimio]

Does not sound like a real report, really!

[@krishivrajpal9282]

Tallest man ever and human histries big human

[@britishchick09]

He sure is! :D
