Standing at a staggering height of 8 foot and 11 inches, Robert Wadlow is the tallest person to have ever lived. Sadly, his life was cut tragically short when an infection led to his death in 1940.
Our editor-in-chief, Craig Glenday, investigates whether we will ever see the likes of Wadlow again, towering over the rest of humanity. The world's current tallest person, Sultan Kosen, stands at 8 foot and 3 inches and science enabled the Turkish giant to stop growing.
Why won't we see anyone taller than Wadlow? How has science advanced to mean that the record for tallest ever human will never be beaten?

Robert Wadlow is so tall he could literally practice vertical social distancing
This is good! :D
Tht was corny try again
@@godforgive_me9798 god might forgive you, but I wont
But that doesn’t matter because he already died longer ago.
Lol
I've visited his grave and life sized statue in Alton. You think you can tell yourself what it might be like to see a 9 foot tall human being but seeing just how big he was in reality is mind boggling.
Yes it is. Seeing pictures and video footage of him and his incredible height and size is fascinating.
i can only imagine , i remember seeing nba players and realizing how tall they are irl
@Meki Thomas yeah, with his size 36 shoes lol
I agree nick deez
He is in your foots as regulars humans
5'7 when he was just six years old??? that's amazing-
rest in peace, Mr Wadlow 🌹
Lmao stealing
@Eliezer Taveras Cruz my man, Im 5'1 and i'm 16 (almost 17)
I can’t imagine seeing a freaking 6 YEAR old being as tall as me
@@leedlbagginshield8492 I can’t imagine seeing a 6 year old thats taller than my parents (my parents are short lol and so I am 😭😭)
@@NitroGD19 same 😭
The fact that he could still walk at that height is shocking.
And walk at a pace too
He needed braces and a cane
He's young
I was thinking the same, even though he wear something, it is still shocking.
Some tall people (mostly genetic tall) where even strongman or wrestler, like Édouard Beaupré.
We need more of this kind of videos by Guinness. More of the narrated back stories behind the records, how they’re possible, who are the people behind them etc
True
Agree.
Biblical GIANT hybrids did exist ,I believe without a doubt.
Random fact:
Male neanderthals stood on average 5’5” while female Neanderthals were 5’. Having to hunt predictors bigger, faster, stronger, and more dangerous while meat eating dinosaurs could eat you an an appetizer.
In comparison that’s like you going up against a giraffe (which resembles a long neck dinosaur then a chicken does) or an elephant or a hippopotamus (hippo) without any guns just a spear, a slingshot, maybe a torch, and any other weapons you/ they crafted at that time.

My father met Robert Wadlow back in 1938, Robert was appearing in a parade in Illinois at my fathers hometown. After the parade , Robert met with the people who attended. Robert signed a photograph of himself for my Dad of which I still have today. Enjoyed this video!
That's amazing!
Fun fact: at 8 years old, Robert outgrew his dad at 6 foot (his dad was 5' 11"), at 10 he was 6' 5", pictured next to a 6' 3 man
And at 9 years old he was strong enough to carry his father up the stairs
At 14 bro was 7’9 💀
@@harrisonscheidt8787 7ft 5. By 15 he was 7 ft 10
Bros as tall as me at half my age. What a giant
They said that in the video.
My mother (1926 - 2019) grew up in the same neighborhood of Upper Alton (Illinois) as Robert Wadlow and went to the same schools, although were not in the same grades. He was never treated as a freak in his home town and was a gentleman in every respect. Mom told me that Robert never failed to say Hello and chat with her in the neighborhood and he dealt with his disability as best he could. My father and my paternal grandfather both worked for International Shoe Co. in nearby St Louis (Missouri) which made his shoes.
wow
Yo how old are you then?
Amazing!
I don't believe that your mother was born in 1926 and lived to 2019 I'm sorry statistically people barely don't live past 93 but if she really did that's really cool
@@Clickscap i wouldn't say barely def a 2,3 percent chance
What a sad story...

Ok

Um
Always been really interested in Wadlow. Everyone wants to be super tall, but nobody thinks about the issues that extreme height can cause
I used to want to be small and short so I could squeeze into small places and squeeze through to the front of a crowd to see what was happening.
Just look at them in these videos. Very few walk normal, most have structural issues, the rest damn near crippled....
nobody wants to be 8 foot tall.
Me to i want to go see his statue
I'm 12 and I'm only 7 cm taller than normal and I want to be taller so I went to stilts that made me 6'4 and I was happy
An infected ankle might not have been a death sentence for most people in 1940 either, but because Robert could barely feel below his knees, he didn't notice his until it was too late to be treated.
yeah
I wonder if he had circulation all the way to his feet? I mean his feet being so far from his heart.
@@jamesstreet228 Very little I imagine.
Must of those giants suffer from problems with legs, knees & feet sooner or later. Too long distance for blood & nerves.
I love this format. Craig is a captivating instructor.
He is indeed
Wow
Brits are unique on this.
@@rafaeldeleon225 yeah ur right, i dont know why but its kinda true
Imagine going to a cinema and one of these guys is infront of you sleeping, blocking the entire movie.
At that point just leave
I would not say a thing!
I’m 6’6 and feel really self conscious at the cinema, I always basically lay down in my seat otherwise my head is in the way
When I was seven and eight whenever my dad and I would go to an NHL game I would always get him to make sure the seats were the first row in the second bowl because "what if I get a nine foot tall guy with a ten foot tall cowboy sitting infront of me" 😂😂 I guess I was worried Robert Wadlow would show up (60+ years after his death) in his fanciest hat hahahah. For the record I was a small kid, I'm only 5'7 now at 25 despite being 23.5 inches when I was born
It is sad that he died too young,but while he was alive people love him.They never made fun of him because he was a gentel giant.I would have loved to have met him if I would have been born in that era.R.I.P. Robert Wadlow.The world will never forget you.
Who the hell would make fun of a 9 foot tall man that's just asking for death
His condition was the result of acromegaly and that usually ends the life of the suffering young.
@AdmiralFeesh just because someone is that big, doesn't meant they can fight.
If Robert lived a little longer he could have been the first person to hit 9 feet in height.
John Middleton was a knight born in 16 th centuary
Apparently he was 9 ft 3 in/2.82 cms, or 10 cms taller than robert
He was probably the only person we ever known to reach over 9 ft, but that is only people we know of, trough history there might have been people that are taller than even him but we will never know
He was still growing after his death so I think he grew over 9 feet in his coffin
@@dophuocantran2153 oh that’s scary.. I wonder if he’s still growing and cramped up
@@444shleyyy probably not because it's been 82 years
@@Vuk3 I'm pretty sure it's been concluded that Middleton wasn't even 8 feet tall. he was somewhere around 7'6 or 7'7. No doubt extremely tall for the time but the 9+ feet claim is greatly exagerated.
Lady Dimitrescu: "Finally a real man."
Lol I knew there would be a comment about this
@@YoloTB I'm surprised there aren't more
r u ok?
Hahahahaha
He’s 11 inches taller
This is sad because he still hasnt stopped growing when he died, just imagine how much taller he couldve grown, Robert wouldve for sure topped 9 Ft tall
He really couldn't feel his feet and legs anymore. That's what ultimately caused his death, the braces he wore rubbed on one of his ankles causing a blister. Since he had little to no feeling in his legs by the time he discovered it, it was too late and infection set in. Doctors did all they could for him but due to the time period they didn't have the proper equipment or technology to save him and he died from the infection that ravaged his body. It's sad and unfortunate but at least he will always be remembered and admired due to his size and friendly nature.
Back then I feel there was no treatment for gigantism this also caused his continuous growing
@@ddjmfan ya funny hopefully the bro is inna better place now, altho dude was tall and stuff it probably really hurt at points bcuz of his gigantism
It sounds like that, to you, him not reaching 9ft was sadder than his death.
@@williamwallace4080 the funny thing is, in the photo he gets measured in, and every photo that was taken of him, he was standing straight, but wasnt able to stand as tall as he possibly can because of his legs, so personally i think he was probably 9’0 or 9’1, in his height it also said he was 8’11 1/2 so he definitely is 9 fr he just couldnt stand as tall as he can
I owe a lot to Robert Wadlow. When I was 11 and then 12 I was constantly reading the Guinness book of World Records and came upon his story. I must have reread it dozens of times, noticing in particular his height at his various childhood ages. He was taller than me at age 12, but only by a few inches. The book claimed he had Gigantism, which led me to my doctor and saying I think I have Gigantism as well. Here I was, a 12 yr old girl and I was already 6'4". The last inch I grew happened over only 6 weeks. I went to my Doctor who laughed at me saying " You're tall because your father was tall.". My father was 6'5" full adult height and male...how much sense does it make that I would "naturally" be 6'4" at age 12 and female ??? My mother had to raise her voice quite a bit with this Doctor ( wondering still if she got her medical diploma off a cornflakes box ) so finally this doctor did consent to take some bloodwork on me. Well, a couple days later, now I was being called in for an Xray of my head. Jee whiz, well the blood work was this, a test of my growth hormone level. Normal was ( I don't know what units they were using then ) 0-5, iffy was 5-10, and here my result was 42.5...suddenly the doctor wasn't laughing anymore. The Xray was reviewed by an endocrinologist at the local University and in the pituitary area there was a hazy area all through it, indicating a tumor. Guess what, just like I guessed, I had Gigantism. I went through hell and back with about 30 CAT scans, piles of Xrays, blood tests, poking, prodding etc etc and then the hell surgery ( that would take pages to describe the painful hell that was ) to remove the tumor through the back of my sinuses. If it wasn't for Robert Wadlow's story getting me on the right track of what I had, I would have grown goodness knows how tall and had no life. An extra special THANK YOU to Dr. B.K. Weir who did the surgery under a microscope and it never grew back.

That english guy is a true tall man. He walks like a normal guy. Surprisingly once in a while I see people like him while I'm shopping in local mall. If I recall the tallest person ever lived without any genetical condition was a Scottish Canadian. According to Wiki he was almost 8ft and also a strongman...
Yup, we've always listed Angus MacAskill as the tallest "true" (non pathological) giant, at 2.36 m (7 ft 9 in). Born in the Western Isles of Scotland in 1823, died in Halifax, Nova Scotia in 1863. Neil Fingleton's the tallest I've met with no known condition contributing to his height; I learned from him never to compete with a true giant in a drinking game - the boy could sink those pints in seconds, like he was taking a shot!)
@@craigglenday Interesting. Apparently, at a certain level, when it comes to alcohol tolerance, lean body mass becomes more prominent any other factor.
I've heard the legends about Andre.
With Neil, he struggled rehydrating in the morning so would experience very dry skin. I spent the day after a heavy night on the sauce dusting dandruff off his shoulders! We did breakfast TV in the USA and his skin was coming off in big flakes under the studio lights. Not a side effect I'd've ever predicted!
@@craigglenday I just found out that he passed away at age 36 due to hearth failure :(
@@danielpetka446 Yeah, really sad. And totally unexpected - I think it was a shock for the family, as he didn't seem to have any medical issues.
One other thing I always notice about this young man was his kind-looking face. RIP Robert, you were truly a wonder.
I have been so fascinated with things like this, and I really admire Robert Wadlow for his tall stature. I saw in an article once that he absolutely hated when people called him bad names, associating him with the circus. But nonetheless, I have heard he was an incredibly sweet, charming, and very well-dressed man. He was also so well-spoken. So sad he passed away, but for the time he lived, he changed the world.
Wadlow was lucky he was born into a well to do family, considering how expensive it is to make custom clothes, furniture etc for people with gigantism
Hell yeah. Everything he needed had to be special made. Most people's ceilings are 8' and he'd have to duck way down just to walk through the house. I can't imagine all the expenses of being that tall. It must cost a fortune.
@E Double Wouldn't getting cancer or a tumor from radiation in the part of the brain that makes ggrowth hormone, then removing it work?
@E Double That's true.
@E Double not weird at all. Think about our plastic surgery. Breast augmentation is just cutting open the titty, shoving silicone inside, and seeing it up. That's the level we are. We aren't "futuristic"
@E Double same reason u cant make someone smarter than when they were born, genetics.
This isn't a record anyone would want to have. Besides the obvious inconveniences, the human body just isn't designed to function well past 8 feet
And Robert is proof of that. At his death, he had little to no feeling in his legs and feet due to his height. It was even said that the circulation to his legs and feet was so bad that his feet would turn blue. As fascinating as it was to see, it's not normal.
I wish I was 7.7ft tall
@@chriss1889 No you don't. The sweetspot for a human male is between 5'9 and 6'2 or so, any more than that and your height becomes more of a hindrance

Robert's record will never be broken. Imagine if Robert could have lived to just 30 Robert would have reached 10 feet tall. Simply amazing growth rate that could not be stopped medically at that time.
Fr
He would have died from many other health problems before reaching ten feet. Heart, ankles, blood pressure....etc.
Note a giant over 8 feet tall could not perform any strength training as person would immediately suffer s heart attack. Human heart isnt built to maintain true giant, over 8 feet, stature past age of 35, if u add weight training in mix 8 footer or over dies immediately from heart failure. Any person over 8 feet is either walking w/ clutches, in a wheelchair or in very rare case full leg braces that are extremely uncomfortable. Robert didnt want to use crutches I think because that would have made him appear sickly or entirely unhealthy. But if Robert would have used crushed there would have been a chance for him to live 5 more years to the age of only 27. In those extra 5 years Robert was averaging growth of 2 inches per year w/o very possible growth spurt. There would have been a viable reason to have officially measured a 27 year Robert at 9 feet 10 inches tall. In order to attain that age of 27 at almost 10 feet tall Robrrt would have had to accept a life of mostly not going out on tour but almost always being bed ridden which is not offer any quality of life that he did have until Robert died at 22. Imagine Robert is only person who could have possibly approached 10 feet in height. 9 feet in height will never be approached again.
How we know it won’t be broken there’s a man 8,3 right now so it’s possible
Andre the Giant had a difficult time living at the size he was, and he wasn't even 7'6", and he lived in the mid-20th century. I can't believe how hard it had to be for Robert. Great video. I have been following Robert Wadlow since I first saw his picture in a Guinness book from the 80's. Some of the footage you showed in this video is completely new to me. Kudos.
he was only 7'
@@Saskman73 "Wasn't even 7'6" "
Robert took care of himself the best he could, while Andre had more fun in overeating & drinking cases of beer at one sitting. That is why they both had most different body sizes at the time of their passings. Still do respect them both.
I once met a guy that was 7'4 he was on my plane ride home to Orlando. I myself am 6'4 already tall for a person. Standing next to him was like standing next to my dad when I was 8. U can't fathom the size of someone that big they are massive.
It comes with a price though joint pains and such
I want to be 7'5 220 cm tall inshallah I am now only 6'2.5 1.89m and still growing inshallah
I’m gonna be about the same height or maybe a couple inches taller than you

imagine if the tallest man in the world started bulking and lifting weights
yeah but look at how he walks, he walks like a old man must have a weaker bone problem
Robert already weighed around 200 kg, so bulking would be almost imposible
they would be the scariest man
Impossible, his bones, especially his knees can't even handle his own weight.

1. The fastest man ever
2. GOAT in any contact sport
3. Scariest bodybuilder of all time

It’s just a little sad when they’re facts are wrong...the tallest guy was from England and was 275cm he beat Robert with 3cm
@@marcusrasborg6874 this is sort of a necro, but who is that, and where did you get this information from
Fun fact: Robert was from Alton Illinois. The first four letters in the name of that town spell the word (tall or high) in Spanish.

1:48: Actually, the tallest woman that's ever lived was a girl named Trijntje Keever who grew to 254cm (8'4"), as far as I know properly measured, until she sadly passed away at 17 years old. This means that she was taller than Robert Wadlow at 17, so realizing that she could've rivaled his height is crazy!
It was a long time ago so we don't have much evidence and few documentation on her actual height so it was left out because she's only allegedly that tall, no actual proof, meaning it wasn't scientifically measured and documented
@@angelerror4086 Yeah, I didn't see anyone question it online, weirdly enough, so I always assumed she was truely measured
Well if she was measured she would have been known as the tallest human. I have never heard of her.
She may have made it to 8’9 maybe, women stop growing before men. Although very possible she could have been over 9 feet if she lived longer . Wish there was a documentary about this or something.
@@j.h.4711 It was like 400 years ago, no actual proof, no pictures, no videos, etc so first off, it wasn't even sure that she is that tall, second there was no camera so of course documentation was impossible and painting is unreliable

High quality video, well researched and presented. Refreshing to see this from Guiness.
The majority of the tallest people who've ever lived have suffered with an overactive pituitary gland causing the continued growth.
These days this kind of issue can be easily cured but there are still some folks in the poorer regions of the world where getting help is much more difficult.
Being very tall has so many negatives on the human body which is such a shame for people who aren't able to get help early on in life.
Fantastic narrative,so interesting and informative, i've been hooked on Guinness World Records since a youngster i've now just turned 50 and still in awe of it all. Robert Wadlow was and still is my favourite.
Väinö Myllyrinne (27 February 1909 - 13 April 1963) was a finnish giant
In 1962, just a year before his death, he was measured by doctors at 2.48 m (8 ft 1.5 in). He had a 290 mm (11.4 in) hand span, the greatest known.

Robert is my favourite record, I've been fascinated for over 30 years about him. I've even made a life size statue a work with his name around his neck, my work mates are amazed how tall he was , rather than say 8 11 its easier to just look at that height, he also had biggest hands and feet ever.

Whyyyy. Being tall is cool and all but didn't you know Robert died because the heart sufferers severely. When your tall your bones can't handle the weight I can't imagine what will happen to you because you most likely only replaced the leg bones your doomed.

And back in 1980's there was a woman in China, Zeng Jinlian, who died at age 17 and was at height 8'1. Her growth pattern was such that if she lived just a few years longer, she would have possibly beaten the world record as well.

Here I am complaining, hating my average height of five feet, four and a half inches. Feeling way too tall: was always short as a kid.
I'm 5' 5" and have a couple of tall friends, one who is 6'10" and the other who is 6' 11". If I stand near them, I basically go up a little past their waist. I can only imagine myself being the height of a toddler standing next to Wadlow.
